Gary B. Selleck

Gary Berle Selleck, 79, of Bath, NC, passed away peacefully on August 27, 2025, surrounded by his loved ones.

Born on May 5, 1946, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Gary was the son of Francis Mary (Lane) and Beryl Aaron Selleck. He lived a life marked by hard work, humor, and love. Known for his quick wit, craftsmanship, woodturning, and his deep appreciation for the sea, Gary touched many lives with his talents and kindness. He retired as President of ShuttersDirect.

Gary is survived by his devoted wife, Elizabeth (Betty) Selleck; his children, Daniel Selleck (Michelle), Jennifer Clark (Dwight), and Gordon Selleck (Linda); grandchildren, Callie Byrd (Gary), Kathryn, Jason, and Carolyn; great-grandchildren, Madelyn and Brantley; along with many other relatives and dear friends who will forever cherish his memory.

A service to celebrate Gary’s life will be held at a later date in Bath, NC. Family and friends will gather at 668 US Highway 158, Rougemont, NC, through Monday, September 1. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Liver Foundation (liverfoundation.org) or St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Bath, NC.

Gary will be remembered most for his fairness, generosity, and kindness. His greatest wish was that his loved ones remain bonded and continue to take care of one another—a legacy his family and friends will carry forward with love.
