Gary was born in Gray, Georgia to the late Lawrence Lanier and Margaret Skinner Faulkner. In 1968, as a running back for Jones County High School, Gary was recruited by a number of colleges and was offered a complete athletic scholarship by Jerry Glanville to attend Georgia Tech. During his outstanding career at Tech, Gary was a freshman coach, a starting safety his sophomore year, and set a number of records.

He enjoyed Ingleside Baptist Church and helping with stage construction for VBS. Gary influenced countless students and athletes with his positive encouragement and love of life. He enjoyed all of his friendships especially with his longtime friend, Dr. Dennard Scoggins. As much as Gary enjoyed football and teaching, the light of his life was being "Bop Bop" to his grandchildren and "Uncle Mean" to his nephew. Those left to cherish his memory are his wife, Leann Hammock Faulkner; children, Dre (Kimberly) Faulkner, Kimberly Faulkner, Tyler (Hannah) Faulkner, and Trent Faulkner; grandchildren, Grey, Langley Anne, Gibbs and Banks; siblings, Grant (Dale) Faulkner, Dean (Betty Jo) Faulkner, Glenda (Gary) Yonce; brother and sister-in-law, Rick and Penny Talton and their son, Gray; numerous nieces and nephews.
