GARY WALDREP 1950 - 2023



It is with great sadness to announce the passing of our Cousin Richard Gary Waldrep on June 30, 2023. Gary was like a brother to Michael and Me.

As of today, Gary’s cause of death is unknown. 

Gary was born August 15, 1950.  He would have been 73 years young next month. Gary grew up with us on East Ridge Road, graduated from East Hall and was a veteran of the US Army. He served during the Vietnam War era, stationed in Germany and Paris France during the Peace talks to end the War.

Gary was a resident of the Dallas/Grand Prairie, Texas area for the last 47 years. 

As was mentioned at the recent reunion with our  discussion of each family, Cousin Virginia and Nephew Joey are the last members of the Richard and Avie Waldrep Family of Ridge Road, New Holland, Georgia. 

Family Prayers for Virginia and Joey. 

The Waldrep Family
