Gaylon Russell Stark

Uncle Gaylon has always been on my mind even though its been years since Ive seen him. That will never change. He will always be one of my favorite uncles.

I worked with Gaylon at Diamond EMS. He was a great co-worker and I only wish I had to the opportunity to work with him for a longer period of time. My deepest condolences to the Stark family. My prayers are with you.

I`m so sorry Keith. My heart & prayers go out to you & your families.I miss you, & love to talk to you again.

We are deeply sadden to hear of Gaylon's passing. He was such a wonderful human being and will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Our deepest sympathies go out to Gaylons family. As I read the sentiments posted, I realize how many lives Gaylon impacted. I also worked with Gaylon back in the "old days" of EMS. Gaylon is one of the "founding fathers" of our EMS System. He will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I'm so sorry for your loss, I didn't know Gaylon personally, but I hear he was a wonderful father/grandfather. I know he had alot of people that really respected and loved him dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with you through this terrible time.

I have known Galen since I started in EMS in the early 80's. I will always remember how professional he was and that I have never seen him without his hat on. Please accept my sympathy to his entire family. The EMS world has lost another of its founding members.

Dear Stark Family,
I am deeply saddened to hear the news of Gaylon. I ask that God give you strength and courage at this difficult time. Gaylon will always be a hero to all of us and may his memory live on forever in our hearts.

Dear Stark Family:

I am so sorry for the loss of Gaylon. He was a great friend for the many years I have known him. He was partner to many medics that began their EMS career at Williams Diamond EMS and Lumberton EMS. If there is anything at all that I can do for any of you please don't hesitate to call on me. My family and I are keeping you in thoughts and prayers.

On behalf of the members of Lumberton Fire & EMS it is with heavy hearts and our deepest sympathy that we wish to extend our thoughts and prayers for strength, healing and comfort to the family of our long time friend Gaylon.

He served the community and our department with dedication for nearly 15 years and he played a major role in providing emergency services to the citizens of Lumberton.

I am saddened to hear about the loss of Gaylon. He was a great friend, mentor and co-worker. I worked my way through the ranks in EMS with the knowledge and support he and many others were kind enough to share with me. Many times in the "old days" we were the only two people home in the daytime to respond to an emergency and he always treated me as equal never as the young inexperienced kid I actually was. He was also one of the best drivers we ever had. He was the one who was brave enough to teach me to drive "emergency traffic". I will be forever grateful for the time we were able to share and the lives we were able to impact. Thank you to his family for sharing him with us. Please know I am praying for you. May God comfort you and bring you peace during this most difficult time. Respectfully, Dana Baker Lumberton Fire and EMS.

Keith and family,
I am so sorry to hear about your dad. I am so glad I had the pleasure to know him. He was a great man....and will be missed by many!!! If you guys need anything please let me know!
Your in my thoughts and prayers!!
Kim

We are so sorry for your loss. Please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers.

Keith,

I will always remember the fun times we had on the river and your dad teaching me to water ski.
May you find comfort in all those memories shared.
You will always have a special place in my heart. If you ever need anything at all, let us know.
