He is survived by his best friend and wife of 30 years, Louise Miller, of Edmond; his children, Shonda Miller, of Plano, TX; Lucas Miller and wife Melissa, of Arlington, TX; Robin LePage and husband Philip, of Claremore; Jennifer Chase, of Edmond; and Justin Chase and wife Renee, of Miami; and six grandchildren, Roman and Ava Thorton, of Plano, TX; Jordan LePage, of Norman; Brenden LePage, of Claremore; Garrett and Jaron Chase, of Miami.

Gary was born in Oklahoma City, growing up and graduating from Del City High School in 1964. He served proudly in the U.S. Marine Corps, 1965-1967. He then began his long career in the Transportation/ Trucking field. He drove for American Farmlines and spent 17 years with TG&Y in Edmond as a driver and then as Transportation Director. He transitioned to Transportation Director and Assistant Warehouse Director at C.R. Anthony in Oklahoma City for ten years. He proudly finished his career spending 14 happy years as Fleet Manager at Gemini Coatings in El Reno, retiring in July of 2012. With his wonderful sense of humor, caring nature and kind ways, he was a positive influence on all those around him. Gary loved his wife and family above all else and would do anything for them. He was a constant source of strength, wisdom and advice for those of us that needed it. He cherished the relationships made in his career and was always just a phone call away for his truck drivers -- no matter what time night or day. He will be monumentally missed, more than words can express. Viewing with the family will be held on Tuesday, May 21, 6-8 p.m. at Matthews Funeral Home, 601 S. Kelly in Edmond.
