In Memory Of

Gary Field, age 86, of Miles City

February 24, 1938 – January 23, 2025

Gary Field, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and community member, passed away surrounded by his loved ones. Born in 1939, Gary graduated with the Class of 1957 and began his journey with a basketball scholarship at Custer County Junior College, now known as Miles Community College.  He proudly served his country in the U.S. Regular Navy as a radioman for four years before pursuing his passion for culinary arts.

Gary was a talented chef and restaurateur, managing the Candlelight Inn in Entiat, WA.  Known for his gourmet creations, he delighted many with dishes like Filet of Sole, Seafood Wellington, Coquilles St. Jacques, and Steak Au Poivre.

Gary was also a dedicated public servant, spending eighteen years at the Pine Hills Youth Correctional Facility as a Food Service Supervisor, where he left an incredible mark on the lives of many.

Above all, Gary cherished his family.  He was a proud father to his children – two daughters and one son – and a doting grandfather to eight grandchildren and sixteen great grandchildren.

His faith and community were also integral to his life.  He served as a Eucharistic Minister and found joy in witnessing his lifelong friend, Fr. Frank Kelly, enter the priesthood.  He also treasured reunions with his high school classmates, including the memorable “All 50s Class Reunion” in 2001.

Gary’s legacy is one of love, service, and excellence, and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

A visitation will be held on Friday, February 7 with family receiving friends from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at Stevenson and Sons Funeral Home.  A Rosary/Vigil Service will follow at 6:00 p.m. at Stevenson and Sons Funeral Home. A Funeral Mass will take place on Saturday, February 8, at 11:00 a.m. at Sacred Heart Church with Rite of Committal to follow in the family plot at Calvary Cemetery.  Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.stevensonandsons.com

    Gary was a big part of the Leo and Gaglia families. Was always at gatherings we had. The last big get together we had was the Leo girls and families playing our type of poker. The last few years have been tuff for you, may you rest in peace. 🙏

    To Garys family,
    I have known Gary for years. He lived on Washington st. In later years he was taking care of his mom, Ina. Gary would help anyone in need. He was so kind hearted. He had so much Empathy. He helped me do some remodeling with my parents & I at the ranch. May he rest in peace. God Bless you Gary.

    i
    I have decades of memories of Gary being shared with my family. Such warm and wonderful memories. He was a part of the fabric of our lives. Endless yakking, meals, laughs. Larry loved looking forward to the annual hunting trip with Gary out to Jurica ranch. Countless hours spent at the cabin to enjoy Montana skies, sun, and water. Gary contributed so much work there,and always with a big smile on his face. We were very grateful for all his work and good company.Our lives were blessed with him being in it. I wish peace of mind and clarity to his family. Love you Gary, you will not be forgotten.
