Gary Michael Brubaker

Gary Michael Brubaker was born on October 19, 1943, in Payette, Idaho, and moved with his family to Twin Falls, Idaho, in May 1953. Gary married Myrna Tompkins in 1965 and had two children, Tim and Tammy, and five grandchildren: Caleb, Tia, Tylee Dylan, Auston and Shelby. He also had three sisters, one brother, and one half-brother. Gary worked in the grocery and retail industries until 1993, when he and his wife decided to enter the T-shirt business.

Throughout his life, Gary faced several serious health challenges. He suffered a heart attack in 1986, another in 1993, and a third in 1995, after which he underwent quadruple bypass surgery. In 2000, he suffered a stroke. Through these challenges, Gary remained steadfast in his faith, believing that the Lord was watching over him.

Gary was raised Catholic, but at the age of 36, he recommitted his life to the Lord. He had a love for playing the guitar and, following his renewed commitment to his faith, dedicated his musical talents to serving the Lord. He played guitar for churches, Teen Challenge, and prison ministries.

Gary’s faith and love of music were important parts of his life, and he used his talents to share his devotion to the Lord and minister to others.
