Gary Albert Skibbe

Gary A. Skibbe, age 79, passed away on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at Scott County Hospital in Scott City, Kansas. He was born on August 30, 1947, in Garden City, Kansas, but grew up in Scott City, Kansas, where he was a lifetime resident. He was the son of Albert Henry and Mary Pauline Gile Skibbe. He worked at Scott Pro for almost thirty years.

Some of his greatest joys in life were the simplest things: a good round of golf, woodworking, playing poker with his kids and grandkids, or heading out for a good ice cream treat. He was wise, intelligent, outgoing, and endlessly giving. He was the kind of man who could build just about anything, figure out just about everything, and always had something to teach you along the way. He loved sharing his knowledge, his talents, and most importantly, his time with the people he loved.

He was Methodist.

On May 27, 1983, Gary married Claudia Kay Cook in Scott City, Kansas. She Survives.

Skibbe of Scott City, Kansas, Four Sons - Shane and Jennifer Skibbe of Olathe, Kansas, Danny and Michelle Morris of Scott City, Kansas, Brian and Kelly Skibbe of Roeland Park, Kansas, Jamie and Jennifer Morris of Scott City, Kansas, One Daughter - Jennifer and Greg Cuff, Seven Grandchildren and Sixteen Great- Grandchildren.

He found happiness in the little things, but the impact he made on the people around him was anything but little.
