Gary Wayne Sudar, age 76, of Colcord, OK, formerly of Wagner, OK,  passed away on Monday, November 18, 2024.

 Gary was born July 28, 1948 in Tulsa, OK, the son of the late Fred "Joe" Sudar and Ava (Harris) Sudar.

 Gary was a self-employed handyman and was able to do many things for many people. He loved fishing, boating, golf, and in a nut-shell he just loved sports. Gary was a lifelong animal lover and was known to have his canine sidekick “Boots” along with him wherever he went. 

 Gary came to know the Lord at Falls Creek summer camp at Red Fork Baptist Church. He spoke of that memory often and his family is grateful they will be reunited with him in Heaven because he trusted and believed in Jesus Christ, our Savior. “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. - Ephesians 2:8-9

 Gary is survived by a son, Nick Sudar of Broken Arrow, OK; a daughter, Kiplyn (Derek) Horn of Springdale, AR; brothers, George (Patty) Sudar of Owasso, OK and Ken (Melba) Sudar of El Dorado, AR; a sister, Bonnie (John) Roberts of Broken Arrow, OK; Five grandchildren, Noah Smith, Kayden Root, Cooper, Campbell and Elizabeth Horn; one great grandchild, Parklynn Grace Smith; and many close friend and neighbors.

 Gary was preceded in death by his parents; sister Connie Owens and brother Bill Ragle.

 Per Gary’s wishes cremation rites were chosen.

A Memorial service will be held after the New Year in the Tulsa area.
