Obituary for Gary Bennett Warrelmann Sr.
Gary “Tigger” Bennett Warrelmann Sr., 75, a beloved father, brother, uncle, grandpop and great-grandpop went home to be with the Lord on the evening of May 29, 2021, peacefully with his children by his side.
Gary served his country as a Sergeant in the United States Air Force and was a proud Vietnam Veteran. Throughout his life, he was a regular member and leader of multiple organizations. He was a Freemason, where he served as the Commander of the Legion of Honor; a member of the American Legion where he also served as Commander; and a very active member and Commander of multiple VFW posts. Most recently, he proudly served as Patriot Rider Chaplain and Commander of VFW Post 8098 -Cardiff Memorial in Egg Harbor Township, NJ.
Gary loved racing and working on muscle cars, and enjoyed his years as an Auto and Diesel Technician. He had a passion for cooking and often contributed his culinary skills to his local VFW, American Legion and Fire Department. In his spare time, Gary enjoyed golfing, jigsaw puzzles, painting pottery and spending time with his family. Gary was a devoted member and actively involved in his church, Parresia Church, in Egg Harbor Township, NJ.
He is survived by his children: Sonya Pacera (Frank), Gary Warrelmann Jr. (Danielle), and Renée Clewell (Jeremy); his grandchildren: Brianna Kulzer (Geoff), Paige Clewell and Allete Clewell; and his great-grandchildren: Talon, Kaia and Brynlee. He is also survived and loved dearly by his brothers: Jim, Jack, Tommy and Terry; and several nieces and nephews.
Gary will be missed by many— he had a huge heart, contagious sense of humor, kind soul and was always eager to help others. His presence will remain forever in our hearts.
