Gary Wayne Rhodes, 55, who was known to many as Gego, Gaz, and Gecko, went to be with the Lord on December 16, 2019. Gary was born in Houston, Texas on December 26, 1963, to the late Suzanne and Marvin “Dusty” Harris Rhodes. He worked at Bayou Place for 17 years as a property manager. Gary was a devoted father and his daughter was his world. He cherished every moment spent with her and became a grandfather this past January. Gary had a passion for music and loved playing the drums as well as the guitar. He was a total Rockstar in several bands including Step Child, Tiger Lilies, Dragstrippers, 8 Ball Stick Shift, Gun Crazy, and Personality Crisis, just to name a few. An avid dog lover, he donated to the Houston Humane Society yearly and had many furry companions throughout his life. He loved each of them uniquely, although Schnauzers seemed to be his favorite. Gary enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. Gary was a loving grandfather, father, brother, nephew, uncle, cousin, and friend that will be greatly missed to all who knew and loved him. He will remain in the hearts and memories of everyone who loved him forever.
