Gary Eldridge Keahey, 18 year old son of Mr. And Mrs. Vernon Keahey of Crawford was killed in a car accident near Okeene Friday.
Gary was a past president of the Roger Mills county 4-H and was a member of the Roger Mills county Hall of Fame.
He was a graduate of the Cheyenne high school and was attending Oklahoma State University in Stillwater.
Gary Eldridge Keahey was born March 19, 1955 in Elk City, Oklahoma, the younger son of Inez and Vernon Keahey.
He was killed suddenly March 8, 1974 while returning home from school at O.S.U.
Gary would have been 19 on the 19th of this month.
He is survived by his parents of Crawford; a brother, Charles of the home; a sister, Kathy; brother-in-law, Greg Dugger; and little niece, Stacy of Elk City.
In addition to his immediate family he is mourned by a great aunt, Mrs. Lula Cunningham of Clinton; and Ida Belle White, husband and daughter Charles and Charlene of Dumas, Texas. Ida Belle made her home with the Keahey family for 16 years.
Gary has numerous relatives and friends whom he loved and who loved him.
He attended grade school through the 8th grade at Crawford and four years of high school at Cheyenne, graduating in the spring of 1973.
He was outstanding in his 4-H Club work, played basketball and was honored repeatedly for his scholastic achievement and leadership ability.
One of his interests at home was a promising herd of registered Black Angus cattle. This was his major 4-H Club project and one in which he won many honors.
Gary publicly professed his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and was baptized at the age of ten years.
He was a member of the Crawford Baptist Church, as of January 2, 1966.
Gary was an affectionate, loyal obedient son and his passing leaves a vacancy in the hearts of his family and friends that cannot be filled.
