Is that why Cathy's third, and oldest son, Ryan, who is gay is not mentioned in this profile? Funny how people call Gary such a great person considering the fact that he did forbid Ryan from entering his home in fear that Ryan will "give everyone AIDS". The man hides behind his Christian "persona" so everybody can fall in love with the man. He is not a good person and he has changed a once good, loving, and understanding woman into a blind follower. Look under the surface and you will realize he isn't as shiny and nice as he really is. 
 
Oh yea, did I mention he also has an illegitimate daughter who he didn't discover until she was 16?

I think it is awful that he did not find out about his daughter until she was 16. He missed out on a lot. Whomever the mother is of the child is to blame, for taking those years away from Gary. I do agree with Charles above on a lot, however it is unfortunate that he did not get to see his only child grow up. Cathy isn't a very christian person either. They are two of a kind, and meant for eachother. They are very selfish and deserving of eachother. Whomever would chose a man over their own child; that speaks a lot for itself.

Well, at least the mother of the 16 year old will be getting lots of back child support, since Gary is so well off and has a lot to offer his child. Guess he has a lot of catching up to do.

Gary mcfeeders is a pervert with a thing for little girls. Parents sending their children to be taught by him are out of there minds but noone will ever no his true sides by just knowing him through tkwndo.... a real christina huh? sending your gay son away in fear of embarresment and lack business... thats real nice... at least cathy finally opened her eyes and got away from him especially for her kids... as far as garys daughter.... shes trash just like him.. been locked up a couple times as well

first off gary is abt the nicest guy my family has known and ppl in bolivar r too judgemental when i lived in that town it was pure hell b/c my mom was a single mother but gary was abt the only person who treated her right. while others stuck their noses up and acted as if they wre better. heres a tip u guys had a flood a few years back as a way for god to try to tell u stop ur evil bs but it didnt work. all of u r going to hell for what u have done and i feel no ptty on any of u.

I am a student of Garys I do not believe that he is bad at all. The way he teaches his students self defense, discipline and how to give respect to others and themselves, I believe it is truly from his heart. This world is so corrupted these days it's sickening. I think some of you guys are just blinded by the worldly desires and don't see Gary as he portrays himself.

wow alot of people on here especially you commenters from bolivar, didnt u ever learn if you cant say something nice dont say anything at all. I have know gary for many years and went thorugh the whole divorce deal with him, Ive rode with with him talked with him and in my mind and as well as many others, gary is a great guy with a big heart. he started with nothing and worked hard for what he has today,even through his hard work he still makes time for self improvment speeches for young kids and teaches twe kwan do, his life is based around helping people and helping them accomplish their dreams, the world needs more people like him, for all those people on cathys side only 2 words came out of her mouth in the entire marriage, "WE NEED" which translates into I WANT. she was selfish and didnt relize what she had, I hope gary will be able to find someone thatll treat him like he needs to be and befriend his daughter who he took in under his wing without hesittation. if anyone has anymore rude comments to leave on this site keep them to yourself. obvisously youhave no idea what ur talkin bout.

I have know Gary for the last 8 years. Gary is a great guy who I know I can count on for anything. His family life should be left out of his public life. I only knew a little about his ex wife but it wouldnt surprise me to find out she is behind all the negative comments on here. Gary is a role model for me and should be for many people out there.

YOU PEOPLE ARE SAD!!!! IS THERE NOTHING BETTER TO DO IN YOUR LIVES THAN RUN SOMEONE\'S NAME THROUGH THE MUD..I\'M VERY CURIOUS THOUGH, WERE YOU THERE TO WITNESS FIRST HAND THIS TRYING AND VERY PAINFUL TIME FOR GARY? AND DO YOU CALL YOURSELF A CHRISTIAN? IS IT YOUR RIGHT TO JUDGE GARY OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER? OR IS IT JUST POSSIBLE THAT YOU ARE JEALOUS OF SOMEONE WHO MADE SOMETHING OF HIMSELF BY HARD WORK AND DEDICATION AND DISIPLINE? THAT DOESNT SAY A WHOLE LOT FOR YOU!! I CAN SEE WHY YOU ARE ANONYMOUS, I WOULD BE ASHAMED OF MYSELF TOO!!.... I DONT KNOW KATHY BUT I DO KNOW ONE OF HER SONS AND MET RACHEAL. THEY BOTH SEEM LIKE WONDERFUL KIDS AND HAVE A LOT OF LOVE FOR THE MAN WHO RAISED THEM...THAT SAYS A LOT ABOUT GARY, DONT YOU THINK? I\'M SURE IF THE DOMESTIC CHARGES HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH VIOLENCE, THE KIDS WOULD BE THE FIRST TO HAVE HARD FEELINGS TOWARDS HIM!!! COMMON SENSE PEOPLE!!! AND ONE MORE PARTING THOUGHT...DID YOU EVER THINK ABOUT THE EFFECT YOU DUMBASS WORDS WOULD HAVE ON GARY\'S MOTHER? OR WAS YOUR INTENTION TO HURT EVERYONE CLOSE TO HIM?... I HAPPEN TO BE MADLY IN LOVE WITH THIS MAN AND WHEN I GOOGLED HIM I NEVER EXPECTED TO FIND SUCH HATEFULL COMMENTS. I FEEL SICK TO KNOW EVEN JUST A TINY BIT OF WHAT HE WENT THROUGH AND I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT THE LIFE WE MAKE TOGETHER WILL WIPE PEOPLE LIKE YOU OUT OF HIS MEMORY... HE IS THE MOST LOVING, GENTLE, INCREDIBLE, HARD WORKING MAN I HAVE EVER MET AND MY GUESS IS, THAT\'S WHAT YOU ARE JEALOUS OF. THE FACT THAT MOST EVERYONE WHO MEETS HIM DOES FALL IN LOVE WITH HIS HEART!! LOL...YOU PEOPLE REALLY ARE SAD!!!....AND JUST ONE MORE THING, DID KATHY EVER WORK DURING THE MARRIAGE OR WAS IT GARY\'S HARD WORK THAT PROVIDED EVERYTHING THAT SHE HAS? HMMMMMMMMMM

YOU IGNORANT, IGNORANT JACKASS!!!!! THE MORE I READ THIS THE MORE PISSED I GET!!!! CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE THE HEART ACHE GARY WENT THROUGH KNOWING ALL THAT HE MISSED IN ABBY'S LIFE? FIRST SMILE, FIRST WORDS, FIRST STEP!!!! AND HOW DARE YOU CALL A LITTLE GIRL ( AND 16 IS STILL A LITTLE GIRL) NAMES!!! DID YOU EVER THINK ABOUT THE LIFE SHE HAD? MAYBE THE REASON ABBY IS SO GUARDED IS BECAUSE OF THE LIFE SHE HAD AND TO GROW UP WONDERING ABOUT HER DAD ONLY TO FIND HIM HAPPILY RAISING SOMEONE ELSE'S CHILDREN... I CANT EVEN IMAGINE THE PAIN SHE HAD TO HAVE FELT AND THAT IS NO ONES FAULT BUT HER MOTHERS!!! KATHYS SON MADE A CHOICE TO BE GAY, AND IM NOT DOWNING HIM, JUST SAYING IT WAS HIS CHOICE,. ABBY WAS A BABY AND DIDNT HAVE A CHOICE IN HOW SHE WAS RAISED!!! GARY WASN'T OFFERED THAT CHOICE EITHER!!! MAYBE ABBY PUT ON A HARDENED FRONT TO PROTECT HERSELF FROM SHALLOW MINDED ASS'S LIKE YOU PEOPLE FROM BOLIVAR AND SHE WAS SMART TO DO SO!!!...AGAIN, WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE( BESIDES ANONYMOUS) TO JUDGE? A BUNCH OF COWARDS IS MY GUESS!!! I WONDER WHAT KIND OF DIRT PEOPLE COULD DIG UP ON YOU? HMMMM, I HOPE YOU PEOPLE AREN'T CALLING YOURSELVES CHRISTIANS BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH TO SCARE ANYONE AWAY FROM CHURCH!!! GET A FREAKING LIFE BOLIVAR AND QUIT WORRYING ABOUT WHAT GOES ON IN GARY'S LIFE...HE BOUNCED BACK STRONGER THAN EVER AND I FOR ONE THANK GOD HE'S IN MY LIFE AND WILL BE FOR THE REST OF IT!!!!

Gary, old friend... isn't it just amazing how jealousy breeds this kind of behavior? 
 
I worked alongside Gary at HTT, Inc. in Bolivar and when he left there to run his Tae Kwon Do school full-time, I started taking lessons there with him. Soon, I was helping with the students. Never did I see Gary act in a way that was less than honorable toward ANYone. He was always fair. He taught his students to be humble and respectful, both in victory and defeat. He gave confidence to both children and adults as they studied under Gary and his instructors. His schools speak for themselves; producing champion fighters and humble citizens. 
 
What saddens me the most are all the comments above that are attacking Gary via hearsay. I dare ANY of you to step up to the plate and produce ANY first hand evidence that Gary is greedy, or even a pedophile as someone up there alluded to. It's a shame that when someone calls themselves a Christian that they immediately get a microscope placed over them. Then again, Jesus did tell us that just because we accepted Him that our walk would not be easy. As a matter of fact, it would be much harder. 
 
Put down your stones, folks, unless you can throw YOURS without sin.

Anna, ur comments on gary r true and the ppl in bolivar need to grow up i have left 2 comments a few years ago due to what people say. i know that gary has a heart of gold. he helps anyone whenever he can and i appiciate all that he taught me as a child. he taught me respect and kindness. i wish people would learn from him rather than trash him like his ex and her friends. hes not what they say and ill always defend those that i know is in the right

another thing is poeple need to leave children alone and not harrass them. idk his daughter but like u said its not his fault but i bet hes trying to make it up to her. shes a kid and just like all of us she didnt choose her parents or the way she was raised.

My son started learning at McFeeders Tae Kwon Do when he was about 4 years old and has continued his studies while with his grandparents during the Summer months in Florida. 
 
It amazes me that people can be so negative when anonymous! I've learned a long time ago to take with a grain of salt ANY comments from anyone hiding behind anonymity! 
 
Although, I consider myself a conservative non-converted cultural Jewish Buddhist monk (said with a big smile), a Christian scripture comes to mind: "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone"....
