OBITUARY
Gary
Allen Worsham
August 7, 1974 ~ November 12, 2023 (age 49)
Gary was born in Dallas, Texas to Myra Thompson Worsham and John David
Worsham. He graduated from R. L. Turner High School in Farmers Branch,
Texas in 1992 and attended Cedar Valley Community College. He then
completed the Waco Police Department Academy and began a career with
devotion and lifelong friendships.
As a patrolman, field training officer, SWAT Team Negotiator and in his
years as a detective in the Family Violence Unit he was calm, steady,
and dependable. In his first year as a patrolman, he arrested a murder
suspect and seized the murder weapon. The first year as a negotiator
included the surrender of a member of a national gang which touts its no
surrender code. His successes as a detective in the Family Violence Unit
were discrete, but many. Those family violence cases which could not be
counted as a success affected him deeply.
Gary was a steadfast family supporter of others and his own. He was the
rock. Gary married Misty Brown, his high school sweetheart, and the
marriage was a loving 29 years prior to his passing. They were proud
beyond measure of their sons, Dylan and Jordan. Gary was working on his
country property to prepare it for an extended family gathering for
Thanksgiving when, on November 12, 2023 his heart could give no more.
Thanks are given for an opportunity to have known and loved such a fine
man. He is survived by his wife, Misty; his sons, Dylan and Jordan of
Woodway, TX; his mother, Myra Worsham of Lorena, TX; father, John David
Worsham and brother, David Worsham, of Tampa, FL; and sisters, Sherry
Menefee (Ron) and Kristie Asquith (Sonny) of Lorena, TX as well as
numerous valued nephews, nieces, and cousins and parents-in-law, Lynn
and Kay Brown, Lorena, TX. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to
the Waco Police Association at P.O. Box 1023, Waco, TX 76703. |
