Gary Uthaug, age 70 of Jordan, passed away on January 19, 2015 while taking his cattle in to the sales yard in Miles City.

Our prayers are with Dean, Jaci and Lindsay for the loss of their dad. It will leave a void that only time and memories can help heal. Harvey and Carla, we will keep both of you in our prayers also as you go thru this time of grief. Gary and Marcia were a huge part of our lives for many years. We had lots of fun shared times over the years and shed a lot of tears. To this day we still talk about all of the great times down our road. Gary will be missed by all who knew him well and will always be part of our lives.Sorry we can’t be there for the services but we had already planned a trip.
Laurel Noland says
I have so many memories of the Uthaug family over the years and the loss of Gary brings so many of them to mind. He and Bob were such good friends and our families spent a great deal of time together. My heart aches for Dean, Lindsay and Jaci, having no parents to lean on in times of need and in times of celebration. Please know how much I care and will be keeping all of the Uthaug family in my prayers.

To Gary’s family my sincere sympathies. My memories of your dad are of him coming to my parent’s house to see my dad (Ralph). I think Gary did ABS, and probably Select Sires too. My dad worked for both and would get what Gary needed/wanted to use. He always seemed like a warm, kind, happy guy telling stories and jokes. My memories of him are good ones. I am sure yours are too. Hold tight to those when the lost seems the hardest to bear. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family Gary was a great guy
Cathy Byron says
My thoughts and prayers are with each of you. Gary and I played baritone together for the GCHS band. He was talented in that arena – and I wasn’t. He belted out the solos while I went silent! Marching competition down Lewistown’s big hill on Main Street and dodging potholes so the mouthpieces didn’t slam your lips was another hilarious experience with Gary at one’s side! I am so bummed that another round of the flu bug stifled my plans to join fellow classmates and friends at his service today. My heart is with all of you. Treasure the memories – and know that many share your loss. He was a great guy.
John and Lillian Loomis says
So sorry for your loss, Gary was a really nice man and will be missed by all. May God comfort you at this time .
Linda Rogers says

Gary and Marcia. He leaves a wonderful legacy through so many good memories.
God Blessings and peace on his family and friends.
