Gary Cooley, 57 of Dale, Oklahoma and formerly of Mangum, passed away Thursday, October 6, 2016 at Mercy Medical Center in Oklahoma City.


Gary was born in Pampa, Texas on November 28, 1958 to his parents Preston J.R. Cooley and Bertha Jane (Williams) Cooley. He grew up in Mangum and was a proud graduate of the Class of 1977 from Mangum High School. Shortly after high school Gary married the love of his life Vickie Lynn Martin in the backyard of Vickie’s parent’s house in Mangum and they have enjoyed almost 39 years of marriage together. He served his country in the United States Air Force and received an honorable discharge.

He was a member of the New Hope Baptist Church in Bethel, Oklahoma and in his spare time he was an avid Chicago Cubs fan and he also enjoyed watching OU football and basketball. But above all else, Gary always treasured time spent with his family and especially his grandchildren.
