Gary was born on September 5, 1950, in Flint, Michigan, to the late Steve and Dolores (Shustock) Hajek. A veteran of the United States Army, he served as Military Police during the Vietnam War. On Friday, April 13, 1984, he married Melinda S. Elmore, beginning a special journey together that would span more than four decades.

Gary retired from General Motors after 42 years of dedicated service as a proud UAW member. He enjoyed fishing and playing Euchre, both of which cultivated many wonderful friendships. Gary was a talented welder and had a gift for turning other peoples trash into unique, whimsical “junk art” treasures. He also had a knack for fixing almost anything and if you needed a part or a tool, he probably had six of them. He was always ready and willing to lend a hand, answering countless calls over the years, simply saying “I’m on my way”.

He leaves behind his wife, Melinda; daughters, Randalynn Hajek (Adam) and Kelsey Hajek; grand dogs, Quick and Maverick, grand horse, Moose; siblings, David (Nancy) Hajek, Daniel (Kerrie) Hajek, and Christine (David) Keene; as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, brothers- and sisters-in-law, very special neighbors and dear friends, who already miss him.
