Gary Dale Meridith the son of
Lester James Meridith and Elizabeth Marie (Raleigh) Loosier was born August
26, 1952 in Stilwell, Oklahoma and departed this life on January 31, 2020 in
Proctor, Oklahoma at the age of 67 years, 5 months and 5 days.
Gary loved life. He enjoyed
spending time with his grandchildren, and he loved his family dearly. He
enjoyed hunting and fishing, but when he was younger enjoyed fishing and
fighting. He was a little bit of a farmer. He raised some chickens, and he
was an old chicken fighter. He enjoyed backroad cruising and just being
outdoors. Most people liked his ornery attitude, but he would help anyone at
any time
all you had to do was ask.
Gary loved music more than anything. He was born with a guitar in his hands
and a country song in his heart. Music was his passion and he loved singing
and entertaining his family and friends. He became a legend in his time. We
will remember not only that you died Gary, but that you lived. Your memory
will forever live on and on in our hearts.

father Lester James Meridith; his daughter Lisa Meridith; his paternal
grandparents Frank and Josie Meridith; his maternal grandparents Jim and
Eldee Raleigh; his sister Donna Snider; his brother Elward Meridith, his
