Gary Lee (Travel Man, Chico Louie) Christian, 70, of Carlisle, passed away on November 8, 2024, in Martinsburg, WV.

 The celebration of life will be 2:00 to 4:00 Sunday, November 17th at Ronan Funeral Home, 255 York Road, Carlisle, PA 17013.

 Gary was born in Mechanicsburg, PA to William Christian and Ruby Christian (Bevins) on April 23, 1954. He went to school in Carlisle. He married Sheryl Denise Christian (Ronan) on April 20, 2019, in Martinsburg, WV. He worked in construction for many years as a roofer and finished drywall before retiring. Gary loved a can of ice-cold beer, Marlboro Light, and had the gift to gab. He loved taking long drives with his wife Sheryl, venturing to new places, watching TV, and talking on the CB. Famous words: “Put that in your popcorn bag and pop it” and “Travel Man said that”. Gary hated repeating himself and we all often got the “look” when he had to. 

 Gary is preceded in death by his father William Christian, mother Ruby Christian, and brother William Christian Jr. 

 Gary is survived by his wife Sheryl Christian (Ronan), 6 daughters and 1 son; Dia Fredyma (Christian) and husband Josh, Andrea Bland (Snow) and husband Lee, Karen Snow-Shade and husband Vince, Dusty Mason (Snow), Ashley Christian, Ashlee Simpson (Prouty), Sean Rynard and wife Dawn Rynard (Frace), 19 Grandchildren, 3 Great Grandchildren, and many close friends. 

 The family of Gary wishes to extend our sincere thanks to Hospice and his daughter Dusty Mason for assisting Sheryl Christian in his extensive end of life care. Your dedication and contribution will forever be remembered. Your door and heart were always open.
