Gary Barth Nottingham, MD Obituary, Cause of Death: Baltimore Lutheran School maths teacher and baseball coach is Dead

On February 18, 2025, Gary Barth, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, son, uncle, cousin, teacher, mentor, and friend died leaving behind a legacy of kindness, generosity, and unwavering love.

Gary was the beloved husband of 19 years to Marcell “Marcie” (née Mann) Barth, a devoted and loving father to Alexandra Elizabeth Ciola, Olivia Butterfield and her husband James, and Jamie Ciola and his partner Madison Smith.

He was a cherished “Poppi” to Jayden “Jayde” Alidia, Dezi Townsend, Kaulder Butterfield, Jasper Butterfield, and Xander Butterfield, who brought him endless joy and laughter. He was welcomed into heaven by his loving parents, Paul Albert and Marie Lois (née Gebhardt) Barth, as well as his dear father and mother-in-law, James and Floramae (née Hall) Mann.

He leaves behind his aunts Doris Peterson and her husband Ronald, and Charlotte Blazek and her late husband Raymond; his cousins Wayne Blazek, Ronald Blazek, Rhonda Messick, and Matthew Messick; his sister-in-law Gail (née Mann) Flynn and her husband Dan; and nieces Emilie Flynn and her husband Burke, and Anna (née Flynn) Boonstra and her husband Tucker, along with several great-nieces and nephews.

His extended family, Paul and Holly Doerr and their children Joy, Justin, and Beth, along with numerous friends, colleagues, students, and his cherished “buttercups,” will miss him dearly.

His strong Christian faith guided him, and he led by example with humility and compassion. A passionate teacher, he inspired generations of students by sharing the gospel of Jesus and making math fun at Baltimore Lutheran School, now Concordia Preparatory School.

Baseball was one of Gary’s greatest joys—whether coaching, cheering for his beloved Orioles, or playing with his grandchildren, he embraced the game wholeheartedly. He also had a love for trivia, food (especially his Wendy’s Frosty’s), and planning family vacations, which he would surprise his loved ones with every Christmas.

The family will receive friends at the Lassahn Funeral Home, Inc., 7401 Belair Road in Overlea, on Wednesday, February 26, 2025, and Thursday, February 27, 2025, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
