Gary L. Morey, 47 of Fort Worth, TX entered into God's presence on Sunday February 21, 2010 in Huntsville, TX after a 33 month battle with brain cancer (Glioblastoma). Gary was a 1980 graduate of Pasadena High School and a 1986 graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO. During 12 years of military service with the United States Air Force, Gary traveled the globe in many roles, ranging from directing military communications stations to teaching conversational English in the countries where he lived. He ended his career with the rank of Captain. Gary was awarded a Masters in Communications at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth and was completing studies toward a Bachelors Degree in Nursing (Registered Nurse) when he was diagnosed with cancer. Gary worked part-time with Christian radio station, KCBI in Dallas, TX and volunteered countless hours before and during his illness with his community and church. He had a special love and devotion for his recent work with the Karen Refugees and Adult learning Program, as well as countless other volunteer commitments at Agape Baptist Church. He was a model citizen, devout Christian, and lived his entire life in service of others.
