Gary graduated from high school in 1968 in Shelbyville, Indiana. He made the best decision of his life on August 15, 1981, when he married Laurie Ames in Elkhart, Indiana. Over the years Gary took pride in and made his living in the manufacturing industry as a supervisor.
He loved the state of Texas and made it his home when he moved the family there in 1995. Gary loved the town of Maypearl and was very involved in the community. He was a member of the Zoning and Planning Committee, the Lions Club, he was also an active member of FBC Maypearl, and enjoyed coaching youth basketball.
One thing Gary absolutely loved the most was watching his kids and grandkids play sports. Gary was known as “Boppa” to his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and many honorary grandchildren. He was also a loyal member and coffee drinker at the Waffle House.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Marion and Francis Stevens; his sister, Karen Miller; his brothers, Larry and Keith Stevens; and his granddaughter, Jacquelyn Stevens.
Survivors include his wife of 39 years, Laurie, of Maypearl, Texas, Dawn Elrod and family, of Shelbyville, Indiana, Wendi Ogden and family, of Shelbyville, Indiana, Melissa Arellano and family, of Midlothian, Texas, Amy Pike and family of Killeen, Texas, Jodie Windsor and family, of Waxahachie, Texas, his adopted children Ryan and Aubrey Stevens, of Maypearl, Texas, his nephew of whom he took guardianship of, Aaron Stevens, of Maypearl, Texas, and numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and honorary grandchildren.
