Gary DeWayne Weeks, of Chelsea, Michigan, passed away at Trinity Health Ann Arbor on February 21, 2025. He was born the son of Billy W. Weeks and Juliette S. Weeks (Argiero) on April 12, 1961 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In addition to his parents, Gary was preceded in death by his sister, Theresa Lynn Weeks.

Gary grew up in Ann Arbor and attended Abbott Elementary, Forsythe Middle School, and graduated from Pioneer High School in 1979. Gary met Annette working at the Sears cafeteria in Briarwood Mall. He married Annette Marie Baughman in Ypsilanti, MI on April 1, 1981. Sears has now since closed, so Gary and Annette would fondly joke that their warranty expired, and they could no longer return each other! They loved spending time with family, taking motorcycle trips, and spending time on the boat.

Throughout his childhood, he made many lifelong friends. Friends and family were incredibly important to Gary. His favorite hobbies were hunting, fishing, and working on projects in the garage. There was never a time when he wasn’t willing to lend a hand or give advice when asked. Gary always had the tools or the knowledge on how to get something fixed so you were never left in a bind. His heart was so big. A simple phone call had him showing up on your doorstep with every tool possible that was needed to finish the project that you were in the middle of.

His grand”babies” were especially special to him. He loved taking them fishing on the big boat and the little boat that used to be his dad’s. Gary and Annette went to every possible softball game and school event that they could. He enjoyed the simple things, like letting them drive him around on the golf cart all day picking up sticks in the yard.

Gary is survived by his loving wife, Annette, his daughter, Shannon (Richard) Wade, and beloved grandchildren, Madison and Reagan Wade. He is also survived by his sister, Phyllis (Larry) Cole, and his Aunt Mary Argiero, and many other aunts, an uncle, and nieces and nephews.
