Gary H. Syden

Gary H. Syden, 73, of Wellington, Florida, passed away peacefully on May 27, 2026, after a difficult battle with Alzheimer’s disease. He is now reunited with his predeceased son, Justin Syden.

Gary was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who brought laughter and light wherever he went. He is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Sheree his daughter, Samantha, and her husband, Spiros Nifakos; and his cherished grandchildren, Lucas (11) and Liam (5).

Gary had a gift for making people smile. He often said, “Today is a good day if I can make someone laugh or smile,” and he truly lived by those words. Whether talking with close friends or striking up conversations with complete strangers, Gary had a way of making everyone feel welcomed and valued. His warmth, humor, and outgoing personality created friendships everywhere he went.

He found great joy in golfing, watching hockey, traveling, and would take any opportunity he could to dance, but most importantly, spending time with his family. Alzheimer’s may have taken away so much from him over the years, but it could never erase the love and memories he created with those around him.

A Celebration of Life service will be held on Friday, June 5, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Temple Beth Torah, 900 Big Blue Trace, Wellington, FL 33414.

A luncheon will be served following the service.

In honor of Gary’s vibrant spirit and joyful personality, the family kindly requests guests wear colorful clothing.
