Gary A. Nasal, age 67, of Troy, Ohio passed away on October 17, 2025. He was born and raised in Miami County to the late Bernard Joseph and Sidney Joanne (Casey) Nasal.

He is survived by his wife: Mary E. (Dewey) Nasal; stepson: Alex (Abby) Baskerville of Florida; sister: Nancy Ellen Yarnall of Florida and extended family and close friends.

Gary began his career in public service at the age of eighteen when he went to work full-time in the County Treasurer's Office as a Deputy Treasurer while going to college full-time at night pursuing his undergraduate degree. Within a couple years, he had risen to the position of Chief Deputy Treasurer before moving to the County Auditor's Office. He was then appointed Bailiff for Judge Alan Braun, a job that fixed his determination to become a lawyer.

Upon finishing his undergraduate degree, he began attending the University of Dayton Law School. He interned in the firm of Shipman, Utrecht and Dixon Co., LPA, and joined the firm upon his graduation from law school. During that time, Gary also served as the Miami County Municipal Court Prosecutor, Assistant Miami County Municipal Court Prosecutor, Assistant City of Troy Law Director, and Law Director for the Village of Covington while maintaining an active and varied private practice. He was appointed Miami County Prosecutor for over 18 years until he was appointed judge.

Since his eighteenth birthday and starting work in Miami County, Gary had become active in the Miami County Republican Party. He was elected to a seat on the Miami County Republican Central Committee and worked tirelessly for many local candidates for office. He retained a seat on that committee for over 30 years before being forced to step down when elected as Judge. In 2013, he was appointed to the bench in the Municipal Court by the Governor.

In addition to his government and political activities, Gary has always believed in civic service. He is a past board member of the Miami County Unit of the American Cancer Society, having served two terms as its president. He is former president of the Troy Dollars for Scholars program, has served on several Troy Strawberry Festival committees and has volunteered repeatedly for several Troy Chamber of Commerce projects.

A Celebration of Life will be hosted by his close friends from 6:00 PM -8:00 PM on Friday, October 24, 2025 at the Troy Country Club. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Ohio's Hospice of Miami County. Condolences may be expressed to the family through www.bairdfuneralhome.com.
