A loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, Gary will be missed by many, but his positive influence remains with us. With a curious and inquisitive mind, he loved to solve problems with his innovations in ways that helped others. Nurtured in the Baptist tradition, Gary’s life was defined by his love for God, his family and his friends.
Mr. Pleasants is survived by his wife of 44 years, Gail Moss Pleasants; children, Lisa Pleasants(Sam Christie) of Raleigh and Bryan Pleasants(Jessica) of Raleigh; sister, Beth McCain(Paul) of Raleigh; grandchildren, Emma and Benjamin Christie, James, Ruth and Thomas Pleasants; mother-in-law, Rena Moss; brothers-in-law, Joel Moss(Shelby) and Cliff moss(Shary); nephews, Chad Hall(Denise), Sheila Hall(David), Elizabeth McCain(John Wilson), Emily McCain(Josh), John McCain, Brett Moss(Sarah) and Kyle Moss(Danielle). Gary was preceded in death by his son, Jeremiah Pleasants and a sister, Teressa Hall(Bobby).
The family would like to express sincere thanks to Duke ALS Center, Dr. Richard Bedlack, his team and to Transitions LifeCare for all the care and support they have given to Gary and his family.
