MIKE'S OBITUARY
Michael "Mike" William Gareri, age 62 of
Huntsville, passed from this life, at his home. He was born July 17,
1955, in Ravenna, Ohio, to Joseph R. And Shirley (Gahagan) Gareri. Mike
was a proud veteran of the U.S. Air Force. An avid Second Amendment
supporter, he was a former competitive shooter. He also enjoyed seeing
the United States from the seat of his motorcycle. His Roman Catholic
faith was a vital part of Mike's life and he was humbled to serve as a
member of the Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites, Birmingham Chapter.
He made friends wherever he went, and leaves behind many who mourn his
passing, from his family and neighbors to friends and coworkers,
including those at his role at AT&T, where he was a Specialist-Client
Tech Administrator.
Survivors include his fiancée, Nannette Kilbey-Smith of La Vernia,
Texas; four children, Catina Gareri, Marty Gareri, and wife Jennifer,
Christopher Gareri, and Kristen Bolding, and husband Adam; three
brothers Bob Gareri, and wife Vicki, Joe Gareri, and Jeff Gareri, and
wife Kelly; six grandchildren Hunter Linville, Weston Stiles, Madison
Gareri, Austin Stiles, Joey Gareri, and Jacob Gareri; Nannette's
children, Kieran and Isabel Smith; and numerous nieces, nephews, and
extended family.
Services have been entrusted to Spry Funeral Home of Huntsville, where
the family will receive friends Monday, July 30, from 5:00-7:00pm, a
recitation of the Rosary will follow at 7:00pm in Spry Funeral Home
Chapel. Mr. Gareri will lie-in-state at Our Lady Queen of the Universe
Catholic Church Tuesday from 1:00 until 2:00pm. A funeral mass will

"Christ has no body now, but yours. No hands, no feet on earth, but
yours. Yours are the eyes through which Christ looks compassion into the
world.Yours are the feet with which Christ walks to do good. Yours are
the hands with which Christ blesses the world." (St. Teresa of Avila)
