Gary Ray Willoughby, 77, of Bella Vista, Arkansas, passed away on March 11, 2025. He was a resident of Brookfield Assisted Living Facility.

Gary had a deep love for traveling in his RV to explore new places and create cherished memories. He found joy in the companionship of his beloved dogs, Marley and Charley, and in spending time with his friend, Pam DuRossette.

Gary was a devoted father, grandfather, brother, and friend. He is survived by his two daughters, Jennifer (Rob) Zschau and Julie (Todd) Stauthammer; five grandchildren, Caleb, Mason, and Logan Zschau and Emma and Kailey Stauthammer. He leaves behind his sister, Gail (Frank) Zura; and many nieces, nephews, and friends who will miss his kindness, and humor.

In honor of his memory, the family asks you take a moment to enjoy the open road, spend time with loved ones, and cherish the simple joys of life—just as Gary always did.
