For all the ones who knew him and for those who were not fortunate enough to have known him, Garys heart was larger than life He had many passions including, racing, hockey, golfing, archery, hunting, fishing and last but certainly not least, he LOVED selling drill bits.

One of his many qualities was his love for his family and friends and the relationships he maintained with his former wives, Debbie Thompson Keeling of Vanderpool and Becky Lightsey Leek of Midland.

Gary never outgrew his Class Clown title and lived his life making people laugh. He thought of himself as a Good Ole Odessa Boy who wore jeans and t-shirts and would have wanted everyone to celebrate his life in lieu of mourning his passing. His family is carrying out his wishes. Services will be conducted in a casual setting, hence jeans and t-shirts. The family will have Garys Crew T-shirts available at his viewing and his services for causal attire for all of whom were, Team Gary. WE WILL LOVE HIM AND SHARE HIS MEMORIES FOREVER
