Gary Albert Mullins, Sr.

Gary Albert Mullins, Sr., age 78, of Edgewood, Maryland, passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 16, 2025.

Born in West Jefferson, North Carolina, Gary was the beloved son of the late Dewey Mullins and Margaret (Spencer) Mullins. He was preceded in death by his devoted wife, Jane Dare Mullins (née Kahoe), with whom he shared 53 years of marriage and many cherished memories.

A proud veteran, Gary honorably served his country in the United States Marine Corps. Following his service, he built a successful career as a residential home contractor and was the owner and operator of Oak Associates. He retired in 2010 after more than 25 years of dedicated work in the field. Known for his skilled craftsmanship, Gary had a passion for creating, building, and fixing just about anything.

Gary had a deep love for the water and especially enjoyed boating and traveling to the islands with his beloved wife, Jane. He also loved throwing them never to be forgotten Christmas Eve parties and cookouts for over 30 years and his many generations of dachshunds and great dachshunds.

Gary is survived by his loving children, Gary Mullins, Jr. and wife Michelle, and Monica Mullins. He was a proud grandfather to Amanda Mullins, Nicolas Mullins and wife Jessica, and Dakota Swanson. His legacy continues through his great-grandchildren, Thomas Mullins, Kendall Swanson, and Garrett Swanson.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to your local animal rescue organization or a veterans' charity of your choice, causes that were close to Gary’s heart.

Services to be announced at later date.
