Gary Leon Cutsinger

Gary Leon Cutsinger, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and former professional football player, passed away surrounded by the love of his family. He was born on February 4, 1940, in Perry, Oklahoma to Harold Leon “Pete” Cutsinger and Mary Helen Loch Cutsinger.

Gary attended Oklahoma State University before going on to play professional football for the Houston Oilers from 1962 to 1968. Known for his strength, determination, and larger-than-life presence, he helped lead the Oilers to the 1962 AFL Championship and earned the respect of teammates both on and off the field.

After football, Gary built a successful career as a home builder and developer with Cutsinger Homes and eventually settled in Horseshoe Bay.

In 1975, Gary married the love of his life, Pam Cutsinger, after meeting at the horse races in Fredericksburg, Texas. Together they built a life centered around faith, family, and friendship. Gary was a father to Kim Scheidle, Tami Church, Kenndra Cutsinger, and Kendrick “Cutty” Cutsinger, who preceded him in death in 2010, and Leon Cutsinger, who preceded him in death in 1998.

Gary’s greatest joy was his family. He was a proud grandfather to Ryan, Ashton, Brittany, Preston, Elizabeth, Dylan, Brennon, Brooke, and Ally, and was blessed with six great-grandchildren.

He loved hunting, fishing, country- western dancing, and spending time with the people he loved most. Gary will be remembered for his charisma, strength, and love he gave to his family and friends. His legacy will live on in all who knew and loved him.

Funeral services for Gary will be held at 11am Tuesday, May 19, 2026 at the First Baptist Church in Marble Falls officiated by Reverend Dr. Ross Chandler. Burial will follow at the Haynie Flat cemetery in Spicewood.
