Born in Columbus on August 12, 1951, he was the son of the late Dewey Akers, Jr. and Wilma Charlene Johnson Akers Yeakley.

A 1969 East Clinton graduate, Garry went on to receive a bachelor's degree in business and serve in the Air Force Reserves, where he retired at the rank of First Sergeant. He worked in various management roles, most recently at Alkermes in Wilmington. Garry enjoyed camping and was a true outdoorsman; he could live off the land alone if he had to. Very involved in Boy Scouts, Garry was a Scout Leader for many years. He enjoyed target shooting, finance and stocks, computers, and was dedicated to genealogy research, as far back as the 1700s.
