Gary Gibbs

Gary grew up in the Shreveport-Bossier area and graduated from Bossier High School. Early in his career, he worked in the oilfield service industry in South Louisiana before returning to Shreveport. He later began a career with the Caddo Parish Courthouse, where he faithfully served for 25 years before retiring.

Gary enjoyed bowling with his cousin, Jerry Lee, and his friends. He especially loved attending his nephews’ football and baseball games and was a devoted LSU fan. He also had a special place in his heart for his beloved furry companions, Rosco and Happy, who brought him much joy.

Gary is survived by his sister, Renee Kortus, and brother-in-law, Jim Kortus; his two nieces, Tina Harvey and her husband, Mike, and Kim Erario and her husband, Danny; and his great-nephews, Tyler, Logan, and Peyton Erario, and Hunter and Cody Phillips. He is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends who will cherish his memory.

He was preceded in death by his father, Claude Gibbs, Jr.; his mother, Lorene Gibbs; his grandparents, Claude Gibbs and Ruth Gibbs, and Leola Mobley; and other loved ones who went before him.

Visitation will be from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. October 30, 2026, at Hill Crest Memorial Park 601 Hwy 80 E., Haughton, Louisiana 71037, with the graveside service immediately following. The service will be officiated by Pastor Josh Burford of Fellowship Community Church in Stonewall, Louisiana.

Gary will be deeply missed by his family and friends. Though he is no longer with us, the love he shared, the memories he created, and the joy he brought to those around him will live on in their hearts forever.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice in Gary’s memory.
