Gary was an accomplished athlete throughout his high school years, and later became a professional bowler. Gary owned and operated bowling centers in Montana, Canada, Washington and California.He was married to his wife Sharon, and together they had two children, Bruce and Tonjua.Gary’s nickname was “Suitcase” as he was always moving around the country looking for new adventures. He lived the majority of his adult life in Southern California and Arizona where he loved the warm weather and the beauty of the desert. He was a diehard Raiders fan from the time they were in Los Angeles and was looking forward to their new location in Las Vegas. Willie, Waylon and Johnny were his brothers from another mother, as he would say.In 2004 he moved to Buffalo, Wyoming to be near his family. At this time in his life he enjoyed doing whatever he wanted to do regardless of the outcome.

His grandkids were number one on his list, he was always proud of their accomplishments.Loved ones who cleared the path for Gary were his mother Jeannette Knudsvig who he cherished, father Orville Knudsvig, brothers, Al, Keith, and Wayne Knudsvig.
