He was a respected Detective Lieutenant with the Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office, a decorated Special Agent and Polygraph Examiner at the KBI, and a freelance Polygrapher.  Gary was a wealth of knowledge and a valuable mentor to generations of polygraph examiners. He generously performed pro bono tests to avert miscarriages of justice.

*Past President and Life Member of the National Polygraph Association
*Former Vice President of the American Polygraph Association
*Qualified as an expert witness in both State and Federal Courts

*Charter Member and Past President of the Kansas Polygraph Association
*Trained as a Post Conviction Sex Offender Examiner
*Former Director and instructor at both the Academy of Polygraph Science and the Marston Polygraph Academy

Known as a consummate jokester, Gary was fond of the phrase "Don't bullshit a bullshitter." His generous, kind, honorable, and sometimes ornery nature made him a cherished figure to many who knew him.

Gary is survived by his loving wife, Kathy Davis; daughters, Christine Panus and Jamie Davis-Watson; sister, Joyce Peckham; and five beloved grandchildren.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Vansant-Mills Funeral Home in Clinton, Missouri. A memorial service will be held at a later date.
