When Cary was 6 years old his mother married Don Wilson who would become a beautiful father figure to the young boy. Cary graduated from Walters High School in 1984. As Salutatorian of his class, Cary moved to Lawton, Oklahoma to Cameron University attending with a full scholarship.
From a young age, Cary showed a fascination for cars which eventually led him to career spanning over 42 Years. He worked in various aspects of the automobile business. Not only did the automobile business provide Cary with a job he loved, it also led him to the love of his life, Evelyn Hargis who was working for an automobile repair business at that time in Wichita Falls. Cary was a little shy but once he asked Evelyn for a date it took him no time to know he wanted this lovely woman to be his life partner. Six months after their first date Cary & Evelyn married on February 7, 1992, in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. She remained the love of his life until his death.
The automobile business may have brought them together, but their mutual love of the Lord allowed their love to grow. Cary had an enormous servant's heart, influencing many others to follow Christ. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, a loving son and son-in-law always leading by example and not just with words. He was a hard worker, a true friend and a faithful servant of his Lord.
