Gary E. Schrag, Sr., 77, of Tarentum entered into God’s Kingdom on August 5, 2025 and is now at peace in the arms of his savior after a long and painful battle of Parkinson’s and heart disease. He was born April 2, 1948 in Natrona Heights to the late Grace (Moxon) Schrag and lived most of his life in Tarentum. Gary graduated from Tarentum High School in 1967. Gary was a warehouse laborer for Action Industries in Cheswick and Blackburn’s Physicians Pharmacy in Tarentum for a number of years. He loved watching all sports on TV, especially the Steelers, Pirates and Penguins and had a whole room dedicated to displaying all the memorabilia he collected.
