Gary was a 1980 graduate of Pasadena High School and a 1986 graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo.

He ended his career with the rank of captain.
Gary was awarded a master's in communications at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth and was completing studies toward a bachelor's degree in nursing (for registered nurse) when he was diagnosed with cancer. Gary worked part time with Christian radio station KCBI in Dallas, and volunteered countless hours before and during his illness with his community and church. He had a special love and devotion for his recent work with the Karen Refugees and Adult learning Program, as well as countless other volunteer commitments at Agape Baptist Church. He was a model citizen, devout Christian, and lived his entire life in service of others.
Gary was a beloved son, brother, nephew, a fun uncle, a loving husband and a helpful and caring friend to anyone who was blessed to cross his path.
Survivors: His wife of eight years, Janis T. Morey; parents, Charles and Maxine Morey; sisters, Julie Carker and her husband, Joe, Jayne Williams and her husband, Matt, and Glenda Garcia and her husband, Alejandro. He also leaves to cherish his memory numerous other relatives and a host of friends.

To the Morey family I am so sorry for your loss. Gary was a fine, strong Christian man that was truly an inspiration to us all. He lived the Christian life in all that he did. The nursing profession will truly miss out on having the best nurse possible. As a co-worker of Gary's and working beside him was a blessing and an inspiration. He will be missed and just want you to know that we love him and thank you for sharing such a wonderful person that words alone could never express. Brenda Scheef, RN

I served with Gary on the PRSA board. While I didn't know him that well, I do remember his kind spirit and peaceful demeanor. I'm sure knowing he was a great witness to God's love will fill your heart's emptiness. God's peace through this difficult time...

Janis, I had sent a xmas card to you both but was not sure you received it. Did not know of your move to Huntsville. I was one of Gary's teachers at TCC nursing dept. I took him to the graduation ceremony for his class. I am sure you can look back at the DVD recorded for him. Gary was a great guy and student who displayed caring and compassion. He was mature and a role model for the others. I am comforted that I thought of him Saturday morning and then 2 hours later read about his obit in the newspaper. May God comfort all of you. Sincerely, Carolyn Bass

Janis, Gary was a student of mine in pediatrics at TCC. I will never forget the time he helped a visitor at Cook Children's in the cafeteria when no one else came to the rescue! He was a great person and very caring. He would have made a great nurse. Debbie Price, RN, Coordinator of Pediatrics at TCC
