Garry was born August 5, 1966 to Ronnie and the late Nina Browning in Logan, WV. He graduated from Logan High School in 1984 and went on to join the Navy where he proudly served his country for four years.

“My Dad, Garry Grant Browning As society goes great men are like Ghandhi or Martin Luther King Jr. My father didn't lead in civil rights or spiritual worship but he is still a GREAT man, and here is why. He didn't make millions but he worked to make sure we never wanted for anything. He did this without the help of another parent and we still never missed practice. This man wasn't perfect but he raised three kids to be respectful, considerate, and overall kind to everyone. That is what makes Garry Grant a great man, my dad, my hero. Love, Your son Daniel.”
