Gary was born in Poca, West Virginia on June 30, 1954, to parents Joel Okie and Ada Lavene (Lacy) Eggleston. He had been a union carpenter and retired from Great Lakes Construction.
In his spare time, Gary loved to tinker with and rebuild BSA and Triumph motorcycles and repair and rebuild old hit and miss engines. He enjoyed sitting on his deck and watching the birds come and go. He would then look them up to determine what type of bird it was and listen to its distinct sound. Gary also enjoyed socializing with his friends at the Shenandoah bar in Brimfield, where he was known as “Montana”.
Gary is survived by his companion of 30 years, Sheila Hampton and children Billy Allen Eggleston, Jessica Martin, Ben (Kellee) Hampton, Sara (Scott) Krieger and Andy (Sarah) Hampton. Left also to cherish his memory are grandchildren Grace, Faith, Owen, Charlie, Hutton, Shelbie, Cecilia, Joleen, Anddru, Gracelin and Cain. He also leaves his furry friend and best buddy “Libby”. Surviving also are his siblings Judy, Sandra, Virginia, Billy Joe, Patrick and many loving nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents and siblings Eddie, Arley, Michael, Charlie and Eva.
Per Gary’s wishes, cremation is honored, no services will be held, and he will be inurned at his family’s cemetery in West Virginia.
