Obituary For Mr. Gary L. O’Keefe of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida
Gary L. O’Keefe, 73, of Palm Beach Gardens passed away unexpectedly Dec. 3, 2020. He is survived by his only child, Heather Lee O’Keefe. Gary loved looking at photo albums of him and his daughter and their golden retrievers. He enjoyed boating, fishing, and running his businesses. He was a U.S. Army Veteran, yacht captain, and successful entrepreneur. Most will remember him as “Captain Gary” and/or "Doctor Klear." He is known as the man who could outdo Mr. T when it came to wearing flashy jewelry or Fabio for his long gray hair blowing in the wind when he was behind the helm. His daughter will remember him as the best dad in the world. Due to the COVID pandemic, there will not be a formal funeral service. A private celebration of life service will be held for family.
