Gary was born to Kenneth and Thelma (Hittle) Lyle on October 31, 1938, in Enid, Oklahoma. Gary passed away on Wednesday, December 17, 2014, at Corn Heritage Village in Weatherford, OK. Gary spent his growing up years in Enid, Hutchinson, Kansas, and Woodward, Oklahoma where he graduated from high school. He became a Christian at a young age and grew up in the Church of Christ. He attended Northwestern Oklahoma State College in Alva and became a young husband and father before he graduated from college. The family moved to Denver, CO, and then back to Oklahoma. He spent the majority of his working career with the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission and was a Director of Field Operations. After retiring he worked for Red Rock as a counselor. He married Betty Myers in 1988 and gained two more sons. He enjoyed spending time with the family, watching old movies, listening to the music of the big band era and 50s and 60s, and travelling. He was most happy when he was having a conversation over coffee with family or friends.
