Gary Leonard Kremnec passed away on Sunday, October 19, 2025, surrounded by family and friends at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center.  He was born August 7, 1947, to Leonard and Sylvia Kremnec in Toledo at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center.

Gary will be remembered as a loving son, brother, uncle and loyal friend.  Gary attended St. Catherine Catholic grade school, Central Catholic High School in Toledo and The Ohio State University where he maintained a strong bond of friends at each school he attended.

He had an infectious smile, sarcastic sense of humor and generous to a fault.  He was known for his storytelling, practical jokes and overwhelming enthusiasm.  He was a huge fan of the New York Yankees.  The Ohio State football and basketball teams and of Joe Burrows from the Cincinnati Bengals.  He loved traveling all over the United States but had a special love for Hollywood, Florida where he had many many special friends.  He also loved traveling overseas and making new friends anywhere he traveled to.  Gary also had a special love of water whether it was on the great lakes or ocean waters.  He loved spending time with his friends and his pontoon whenever possible.

He is survived by his sister, Carol Jennings, four nieces, Michelle (Rick) Dimon, Angie (Eric) Sailer, Janel (Joe Witfoth), Renee (Ron) Muir and 19 Great nieces and nephews.

We would like to give a special thank you to Dr. Upamaka Rao, U.S. Renal on Jackman Road, and the ICU staff at Mercy Health St. Vincent Medical Center especially Anjo who was with him 12 hours of every day.

His family will receive friends at the Castillo Funeral Home 1757 Tremainsville Rd. Friday after 11 AM followed by Memorial Services at 1:30 PM. In lieu of flowers, the family suggest donations be made in his memory to the National Kidney Foundation.
