Gary Lloyd Rolf, 81, died Oct. 11, 2023, due to complications from a stroke. Born Oct. 19, 1941, in Burlington, he spent his childhood in West Burlington and attended Burlington High School. He graduated from East High School of Aurora, Ill., where memorably he played the part of Curly in “Oklahoma!”. Gary went on to graduate from the University of Iowa; later, he earned all 7 Microsoft certifications. His true passion was buying and selling on eBay which he enjoyed for many years. Gary’s love for music continued throughout his life. He enjoyed karaoke, listening to and singing along with his favorite songs on YouTube and his personal collection of CDs.

Gary was preceded in death by his parents, Lloyd and Mabel Rolf; his older sister, Donna, and a son, Gary Lee. He is survived by two sisters, Deanna (Howard) Young and Georgia (Philip) Heckenberg, his nieces and nephews, and his best friend Shane, whom he considered a son.

The family would like to extend special thanks to the compassionate caregivers Gary had at Iowa City’s Mercy Hospital and UIHC, Premiere Estates in Muscatine, and St. Croix Hospice. They went above and beyond the call of duty with their exceptional care.

A private memorial service will be held in the spring at Greenwood Cemetery.
