Gary Michael Rominger, age 63, of Lore City, passed away on Monday, July 6, 2026, at Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus.

Born in Banner Elk, North Carolina, on May 15, 1963, he was the son of the late Roy Jones Rominger and Mary Alice Rominger.

Gary was a proud, self‑employed logger who found purpose in working outdoors and took great pride in his craft. He loved golfing, spending time in nature, and—more than anything—being “Poppa” to his grandsons.

He leaves behind his wife of 41 years, Glenna (Tetirick) Rominger; his daughter Jessica (Andrew) Garvin; and his beloved grandsons Izik Garvin and Atlas Garvin. He is also survived by his siblings Ron (Linda) Rominger, Larry Rominger, Nancy (Jerry) Wilkin, and Judy Hanson; his brother‑in‑law Mike Lawton; many nieces and nephews; and his best friend and golfing partner Brian Presnell.

Gary was preceded in death by his parents; two sisters, Linda Jean Rominger and Donna Joyce Lawton; and his sister‑in‑law Julie Rominger.
