Gary Lynn Holdridge passed away on August 19, 2024 at the age of 76 in Denton, Texas. Gary was born in Gorman, Texas on January 21, 1948 to Arthur Carson Holdridge and Omalee Finley Holdridge. He was the oldest of three children, the proud older brother to his beloved sisters Cheryl and Sharon. He was raised in Cisco, Texas and graduated from Cisco High School. Gary met the love of his life and best friend, Judy Graham in Biology class. Ever resourceful, he was failing and asked the girl across the table to study with him to pass the class. That friendly acquaintance grew into a deeper relationship in the summer of 1965 when Gary asked Judy on a date to the movies at the famous Majestic Theatre in Eastland, Texas which still exists today. He attended Cisco Junior College majoring in data processing.
He got a draft notice to enlist into the Army, so he decided to join the United States Air Force instead.
After his military service, Gary and Judy married after she graduated from high school in June 1968.
