Today is probably going to be the absolute hardest day of our kids lives this far. They are getting their final goodbye with their Dad. Please keep them in your prayers. 15 & 18 year olds should never have to do what these kids have had to do in the past few days. Please help them get their Dads ashes home to Texas now. As most of you know Gary was beyond proud to be a Texan and only ever stayed in Michigan because he didn’t want to leave his kids. Our kids goal is to make a trip together to spread his Ashe’s in his home state. Thank you all again we’ve been blown away at everyone’s generosity and support.

Update.. 4/5/24

We want to thank everyone for all the love and support. I just wanted to update and let everyone know cremation services have been taken care of and we are now focusing on taking care on his bills and completing his wish of which was to have his ashes taken home to Texas and spread. Now the funds will now be going to take care of those things.

Hi my name is Ashley Behm as some of you may know my ex husband was involved in a tragic accident this morning on his way home from work in Oxford leaving behind our 2 children Jayden who is 18 and graduating Lakeville High School in June, our daughter Raelynn who is 15 and a sophomore at Lapeer. Unfortunately our kids are now in the position of taking care of his funeral arrangements and all other things that go along with it. He did not have any savings or 401k. As most of you know he was working on getting his life together and had just gotten an apartment last month. As a mother I’m just trying to do what is right by him and our kids to help out financially. If you can help in any way possible I’d be more then grateful as I know our kids would be to.

Gary will be cremated as were his wishes and the kids would like to have a celebration of life this spring. I will keep everyone posted.
