GARY EDWARD DEERING,
82, of Cass City passed away on January 26, 2023 in Deckerville Community Hospital from complications related to COVID-19. He was born June 10, 1940 in Saginaw to Edward and Vera Mae (Kohl) Deering. He married Rebecca Ruth Larson.
Gary graduated from Cass City High School. He proudly served his country in the U.S. Navy for four years. Gary lived the majority of his life in Cass City, where he farmed the land he acquired from his parents.
