Gary Lynn Greenlee Sr. passed away peacefully at his home in Poplar Bluff, Missouri on May 10, 2018.

Gary was born July 25, 1956 to Joseph Lawrence Greenlee Jr. and Nadine (McGee) Greenlee of Doniphan, Missouri. Gary was a former police officer for the city of Poplar Bluff, Missouri. He later became an entrepreneur, and he operated Double GG Trucking for over 12 years. Gary was a lifetime member of the Church of Christ. He was also a highly active member of the Masonic Lodge in Doniphan, earning a 3rd degree Master Mason and had been past Worshipful Master 5 times. He was also a lifetime member of the NRA.  Gary never met a stranger. He always loved learning about other people’s lives and made it a point to get to know everyone he could. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening, sports (especially the St. Louis Cardinals), and spending time with his family and friends.
