Gale Humphrey Obituary
Gale Patrick "Hump" Humphrey was born on November 22, 1967, in Dexter, Missouri, to Ralph Humphrey and Joan Logan, and left this world on July 28, 2024, in Bloomfield. He spent his life excelling as a Truck Driver and touched the hearts of many along his journey.
Described as a man who loved to talk with his unique boisterous voice, Gale never knew a stranger. His vibrant personality lit up every room he entered, leaving a lasting impact on all those who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Aside from his career, Gale had a deep passion for fishing and often participated in Crappie Tournaments at Wappapello. He also found joy in farming, construction work, and cherished moments spent with his family. Among his most treasured memories were those with his granddaughters whom he adoringly referred to as "My Girls."
Gale leaves behind a legacy cherished by his two sons: Justin Ervin of Bernie, Missouri and Joshua Ervin of Bloomfield, Missouri; one daughter Jordi and her husband Benjamin Provance of Bernie, Missouri; four precious granddaughters: Kayson Humphrey, Keegan Dennis, Kennedy Provance, and Kassidy Provance.
In addition to his children and grandchildren, Gale is survived by his brothers Leslie Humphrey and wife Janine of Evansville, Indiana, Randy Humphrey of Dexter; sisters Staci Counts and husband Kenneth of Sikeston, Jolean Duer and husband Samuel of Dexter; fiancé Rebecca Barbre; lifelong friend Debbie Battles; ex-wife Tami McCollom; along with a multitude of other family members and friends whose lives he enriched during his time with us.
Gale was preceded in death by his parents.
A visitation will be held on August 2, 2024, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Watkins Funeral Homes in Bloomfield followed by a Funeral Service at 1:00 PM with Pastor Charles Robertson officiating. The interment will take place at Gravel Hill Cemetery following the service where Gale will find eternal rest.
Gale Patrick Humphrey will be deeply missed but never forgotten. May his spirit live on through the myriad of lives he touched throughout his remarkable journey on earth.
