In Loving Memory of
Gary John Flores
November 30, 1973 – April 28, 2025
With deep sorrow, we announce the passing of Gary John Flores on April 28, 2025, at the age of 51. Born in Talofofo, Guam, Gary made his home in Auburn, Washington. He proudly served his country as a member of the United States Navy and was a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend. Those who knew Gary remember his kind spirit, lively humor, and unwavering loyalty.
He was preceded in death by his father, John Peter Cruz Flores. Gary is survived by his mother, Linda Castro Aguon Flores, and his brothers Mark (Marissa), Carl, Earl (Jenny), and Eric (Theresa).
Gary also leaves behind very dear friends Jimmy Inman and Josh Zumsteg, and his beloved nephew, Ethan Inman. Gary and Ethan shared an extraordinary bond filled with joy, imagination, and unconditional love—memories that will be treasured always.
