On Friday, July 30, 2021, Gary Emerson, originally from Traverse City and longtime partner of Sharon, passed away at the age of 65. Gary will always be remembered for his lifetime passion for hunting and fishing, organizing an annual youth fishing tournament in Traverse City, and most recently serving on the Board of Directors of Michigan BASS Nation. If you would like to make a memorial donation in Gary's name, it would be most appreciated at "Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Michigan" (bigsupnorth.com). A memorial service will be held at a later date. Please share a memory on Gary on his tribute wall.
