In the words of a friend, Gary was a beautiful soul and the definition of the Phoenix Rising. He was a talented artist and musician whose works included the comic books “Mascara,” “Humorville Hillarrions,” and the short story series, “Fiendy,” which appeared in Heavy Metal Magazine, and also the Bad Halo Comics “Joseph.” He was also an alumni of Berkeley College of music. All his music genres can be found on YouTube; he can be credited with music in two motion pictures.
Gary leaves to mourn his mother Virginia Becks-Johnson of Florida and wife Maria McCloud and stepfather Ernest Johnson.
