Gary Gregory Salazar

We are sad to announce the passing of Gary Gregory Salazar on January 3rd, 2023.

He was born in Montebello Ca. on June 21, 1951. He enlisted in the Air Force in the early 70’s, he was granted an Honorary discharge and moved to Santa Barbara, Ca. He worked for the City of Santa Barbara in the Parks and Recreation Department for over 25 years. He made many friends. He was known for his great sense of humor, his love of gardening, beer, tequila and music. We begin to remember not that you died but that you lived and your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget you. We will remember the kind, generous loving person that you were. You left us with a huge Void in our hearts.

He leaves behind a loving wife of over 25 years, two brothers and two sisters. As per Gary’s wishes he wanted to be cremated and his ashes be scattered in the ocean.

A celebration of Gary’s life will be scheduled for a later date
