Gary Flint, 67, crossed the scale for the last time on February 26, 2024.
Gary was born on a cold day, February 6, 1957 at his family’s home in Haxby. He was the second child of Neil and Cecelia (Crowder) Flint. He grew up working on the family’s ranch and attended a one room schoolhouse until he was sent to high school at Garfield County High School. He graduated in 1975. He worked for several families around Garfield County during and after high school, until taking a trucking job for Wayne Hunter in 1977. He remained a truck driver his whole life.
Gary married his wife Marge Solf on June 27, 1987. With this marriage came a son, Kevin, first in 1990, and a daughter, Megan, to follow in 1993. Gary loved kids, he never knew the word no and always showed up. There wasn’t anything you couldn’t ask that he wouldn’t help with. Whether it was pulling his kids on a sled for hours on end or helping with a weird sound in your vehicle.
His generosity and kindness spread to many friends and family throughout his years. He could always be counted on if you called and asked for help. He quietly showed up, helped, and never needed praise or a show. He has large shoes that will never be filled with his many projects he would take on for anyone.
Gary is survived by his wife Marge Flint, his sister Brenda (Rob) Brawner, brother Bob (Mary) Cowin, his son Kevin (Lindsay) Flint of Winnett, his daughter Megan (Tj) Flint of Miles City, his two cherished grandkids Dallon and LeaBelle, and numerous cousins, as well as nieces and nephews.
He is preceded in death by his parents Neil and Cecelia and his brother Leland.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations in Gary’s name to the Garfield County Ambulance in Jordan or Petroleum County Ambulance in Winnett.
A funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, March 1, 2024, at the VFW Hall in Jordan. Interment will follow in the family lot of Pioneer Cemetery in Jordan.

My condolences Marge, I never knew Gary well, but I was around him enough to know he was very special guy. The obituary summed it up very well. We spent more than a few hours sitting in a wheat field waiting for a load. He will not be forgotten.
