Gary Joseph Platt Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Gary Joseph Platt, beloved husband, father, son, brother and grandfather went home on October 25, 2018. Gary was born on September 28, 1955 to Donald and Marguerite Platt. He had a sister Donna Guzman and her family from Hainesville, IL. They spent a great life traveling with their dad and mom serving our country in the US Navy. Gary followed in his father’s footsteps and joined the US Navy in 1975. He retired December 1, 1994. Gary was survived by his wife, Elsie Platt, whom he married in 1986. They had 3 sons, Thomas, Adam and Tyler Platt. He inherited 2 wonderful daughters, Ingrid Iglesias Platt and Jessica Thompson Platt. A Grandson came along this year, Cooper Joseph Platt. Gary spent his life giving and sharing with who ever came across his path. He had so many brothers that he loved in the Navy and in Christ. His last 8 years he devoted to the church and the children of Mountain Creek Baptist Church. He took pleasure in teaching about Jesus and, if he wasn’t teaching, he gave his time in assisting others. Whether he fixed a computer, cleaned up a yard, or just helped the under-privileged gain a new start in life, he always worked towards helping anyone he could. A memorial service will be held at Mountain Creek Baptist Church in Greenville, SC on Monday, Oct. 29 at 5:30pm. The family will receive friends beginning at 4pm. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you send a donation to the Mountain Creek BC Children’s Ministry at 255 W. Mountain Creek Church Road, Greenville, SC 29609
