Gary Russell Rosenboom was born September 8, 1938 in Beatrice, Nebraska to Herman and Ruth (Wagoner) Rosenboom. He passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on October 7, 2015, at the age of 77 years.

Gary graduated from Oakland High School in 1956. He then graduated from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln with a Bachelor’s degree in Geology. On August 16, 1959, he married his high school sweetheart and love of his life, Karen Johnson, at First Evangelical Lutheran Church in Oakland.
