Gary Mitchell Allison, 74, of Harrison, TN passed away on Sunday, February 19, 2023.  Gary was a beloved brother, uncle, cousin, and friend.

Gary was a lifelong resident of the Birchwood/Harrison area, graduating from Birchwood School in 1966.  Shortly after graduating, he began work at Van Heusen in the production department as a packer and remained a dedicated employee there for 50 years until his retirement.  Gary was always a car enthusiast and owned many amazing vehicles throughout the years such as a Corvette, a Chevelle, a Camaro, and his current Cadillac.  He was an avid Eagles fan and anyone that admired his automobiles got to do so while listening to their greatest hits.  Gary had the kindest smile, the biggest heart, and such a loving spirit.  He was a pleasure to know and love, and he will be missed tremendously.
