Gary Lee Kadar

Gary Lee Kadar Sr. was born January 1, 1970 in Inglewood, CA. to parents that he treasured and loved with all his heart, Edward W. Kadar Sr. and Gregorita Kadar. He returned to God's Arms on August 12, 2012.
Gary grew up in Southern California with many siblings, nephews, nieces and friends. As a child he was a talented dirt bike rider and was thrilled when he qualified to race at Anaheim Stadium. When he wasn't on the race track he enjoyed riding his pedal bike around his neighborhood with his friends and nephews.
His father was a Master Carpenter, and began taking him to work when he was just 16. Gary caught on to his Father's trade very quickly and became a fine Finish Carpenter himself. He took great pride in his work, and loved building anything and everything with perfection.
Gary met the love of his life, Susan Ives, when he was just 15 at Kennedy High School in Granada Hills, CA. Gary really loved just spending time with Susan, riding her around on the handles of his pedal bike. Gary and Susan shared an untouchable bond that kept them at each other's side no matter what life threw their way. A few years after meeting Susan, they started a family together. Gary was blessed with three beautiful daughters Elizabeth, Jessica and Melissa, and two handsome sons Gary and Andrew. Later in life, he was also blessed with an amazing grandson Gary III and the news of his expected granddaughter, Izabella.
Gary was very devoted to his wife and children. With his family, he enjoyed road trips to visit close relatives, going hiking, riding bikes, and very frequent trips to the beach and Disneyland. Gary's recent hobbies also included golfing and playing baseball on the team at church. Most of all he loved just being around his family at his home, laughing, making jokes and enjoying their happiness.
He always made himself available to anyone in need, from helping a stranger broke down on the road, to buying food for a less fortunate person on the street. Gary had a heart of gold that could be felt by anyone blessed by his presence.
