Gary Allen Sapp, affectionately known as “Flash,” passed away peacefully in his home on January 16, 2026 surrounded by his wife, children, and loved ones. He was born in Plant City, FL on March 11, 1953.
Flash met and began dating his future wife Lucy in 1978, and they married in 1984. Throughout his life, he had a love for muscle cars, drag racing, and a good home-cooked meal. Flash was hard-working and dedicated to his family. He never met a stranger and left a lasting impact on everyone he met. Until his passing he maintained his sense of humor.
Left to cherish his memory is his wife of 41 years, Lucy; his children, Susan (Dale) Robinson, Cathy (Bob) Brennan, and Charlie (Stacey) Sapp; 10 grandchildren; Tyler, Allen, Madison, Noah, Jeremiah, Liam, Makayla, Rylan, Michael and Alexis; 1 great grandchild, Kintley; 2 brothers, Johnny and David.
We find comfort in knowing that Flash’s legacy lives on through the lessons he taught us, the love he shared, and the memories we will cherish forever.
Gary’s life will be celebrated in Inverness, FL in March 2026 at a date to be determined.

I met Flash in the early 70’s. I immediately took a liking to him. How could anyone not like this guy? We had lots of good times together. He had a VW Bug. I had a motorcycle. We sometimes traded for the weekend. We used to go to Lake Ellen to hang out diving out of the tower. What a Great guy. RIP, My Brother.
