Gary,
Was a pleasure to work with you for the few years we had together. I enjoyed our conversations whether it was sharing a laugh or discussing work. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with me. We will all miss you at Westlake.
Gary, You were such a great friend. Although I moved to NM I still cherished our friendship. You were the reason I chose #24 as my basketball number at Ruidoso High School. You will always go down as one of the Best Athletes to ever come out of Pecos. You and your family helped mold me into the man I am today.

I am so sorry and sad to hear about Gary’s passing. I got the opportunity to interact with Gary many times since I joined Westlake. Gary had a great personality and was always positive and helpful. We will miss him. May God bless Gary’s soul with eternal peace and abode in heaven and give courage to all the family members to bear this loss. Amen.
Cindy and Family, I am so heartbroken with the news of Gary’s passing. I am honored to have worked for Gary over the past 6 years, and he was a mentor to me over that time. I will remember Gary’s profound sense of humor most about him, and his joy when he spoke about his family. I always enjoyed hearing about his grandsons’ baseball games though Gary’s proud grandfather’s eyes. Gary was a warm and wise soul and I will miss him greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Cindy, praying for comfort and peace for you all as you walk through these days. Love you. Mourning with you.
My condolences to you and your family. Gary will be missed. I pray that God comforts you during this time of sorrow. Praying for you and your family.
Cindy, Derek, Robert, Carli, Sean, and Megan, I’ve been thinking of all the shared memories our families have over the years at church, holidays, and family vacations and how much your Dad/Husband was part of it all. He wasn’t usually the first to talk about something, but with his wisdom, his comment was most often the last thing that needed to be said on a subject. He was a true servant to our church family and his expertise was appreciated by all. I will miss most of all the lunches that we shared after church for so many years.
He left us too soon but please don’t dwell on what might or could have been, but perhaps spend your time appreciating how he showed his love and dedication to you in so many ways. Lastly, forgive him for those corny “dad” jokes!
Cindy and family we were so sad to hear of Gary’s passing he was a wonderful person to work with. Few of us and few of my coworkers that have retired worked with Gary on the PE&O side and were very sorry to here of his passing. We are all sending many prayers for comfort of this great lost in this difficult time.
My condolences and prayers to Bobby, Patsy and family so sorry for your loss.
To the precious wife and family of Gary Rogers, we attended opposing Jr. High Schools in the same town of Pecos and there was a definite rivalry, But West Pecos Jr High had this Man playing on their team called Gary Rogers, we could not get past his talent, skills or sheer will to dominate, must have been the older brothers? We joined forces in High School to which i had an inside view of the incredible competitor, teammate, and dear friend he soon became. So many great memories on and off the field, were made with this incredibly gifted young man, as he will live in my heart, be spoken about with kind words whenever opportunity presents itself, to what a great and wonderful person he was to all those who grew up with him in Pecos Texas. I was given the gift of saying goodbye to him, but unaware he was leaving us soon, i did thank him for the memories. To all our condolences from the Arreguy family. May God’s grace, love and peace be among you all.
Sending my prayers and condolences to all his family. He will be missed by all. ♥️
words can’t say how I feel about my Sweet Sweet Nephew! Loved him from day I first saw Him! Good Good Man! Love him dearly
We are so sorry for your loss. Blessings and love to Bobby, Patsy and the family. May the good Lord bless and keep you.
Sorry to hear of Gary’s passing away…I will always remember his quiet ways and tough running, on the field and track…prayers up for family !!!
Dear Cindy and family,
Karen and I are so sorry for your loss. May God bless and comfort you in the days to come.
Some of my earliest memories with Gary are before we started 1st grade together when we would often go to the School Store, across the street from South Pecos Elementary. Gary was always a leader, whether as Glob, a Wyoming Wildcat, Super 7 or the other nicknames we gave him. I was always proud to call him Friend and honored when he stood as my Best Man at my wedding. He touched many lives and will be missed by all.
Dear Patsy and Bobby, We are so sorry for your loss; may God bless you and hold you close during this time and afterward. I remember how you and Bobby had the cutest baby boys at church. They were just adorable. Love, Sue Kellar Rhineheimer
Lot of good times growing up in Pecos and playing sports. I have some pictures when we were in track.
Cindy I am so sorry for your loss! Sending prayers and hugs for you and your family!

Gary, may you be in the loving care of God. Cindy and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I had the opportunity to work with Gary when he was the Divisional Controller of the Olefins group. Gary was always considerate and kind. He will be missed by all. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Patsy and Bobby,
You came to live on the farm just shortly after your wedding, and we grew up with your kids. We loved all of you and I especially remember granny. I will always cherish those memories that included all the boys. I got married and had moved to Fort Davis. I want to thank you for coming to Shirley’s memorial service. That was a kindness. I now know what it feels like to lose a family member, so I know what it feels.
