Yunker, Garry Lee age 89 of Troy, Ohio passed away Tuesday, September 30, 2025. He was born October 1, 1935 in Inwood, Iowa to Roy and Caroline {Serck} Yunker. Gary is preceded in death by his parents, wife Phylis A. Yunker, brothers Donald Yunker and Owen Yunker, brothers in-law Jim Robinson and Harry Binneboese and granddaughter Khristeen.

Garry proudly served his country in the United States Army during the Korean War. He was a longtime member of Zion Lutheran Church in Tipp City. After retiring from US Air as a Station Agent, Garry remained active and social, maintaining a close-knit group of friends and participating in the Honor Flight on two occasions—an experience he cherished. A man of many interests, Garry enjoyed volunteering at WACO, spending time outdoors, tinkering, gardening, and woodworking. He also worked as a maintenance man at Overfield Early Childhood Program, where he was a familiar and friendly face. He loved traveling back to his home state of Iowa and especially enjoyed attending his grandchildren's baseball games. Garry never met a stranger—his friendly nature left an impression on everyone he met. Above all, his family meant the world to him.
