Garry Douglas Mattingly, a cherished father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, passed away peacefully on December 20, 2024, in Fisherville, Kentucky, with his loving family by his side. Born in Lebanon, Kentucky, on June 20, 1957, Garry embraced life with quick wit, a great sense of humor, and an unwavering dedication to his loved ones.

Garry found joy not only in his career but also in the great outdoors. He was an avid hunter and fisherman, loving every moment spent gathering with friends and family, whether shooting or merely enjoying the serenity of nature.

He is survived by his devoted daughter, Dawn Mattingly; his beloved grandchildren, Hailey (Dallas) Ludwick, Jared Ludwick, and Kaitlyn (Kevin) Ludwick; and his cherished great-grandson, Rowan Howell.
