George Gary Cloud
1935-2022

With heavy hearts, we mournfully announce the passing of George Gary Cloud. He entered fully into the presence of the Lord on Saturday, October 22, 2022 at the age of eighty-seven in Fort Worth, Texas. He will always be remembered in our hearts as a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.

Born in Fort Worth, Texas in 1935, Gary served his country as a U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force photographer for more than twenty years that took him to places around the world including France, Japan, and Vietnam. Along with his wife Gayle and their children, he served as a short-term assistant for the Wycliffe Bible Translators in Papua New Guinea for a year where he also did photography. Gary was a devout member of Gateway Church in Southlake. He is survived by his adoring and dedicated wife of sixty-five years, Linda Gayle Cloud and their four children, Carissa Harrison and husband John, Deborah Cloud, Shane Cloud and wife Tammy, and John Cloud and wife Robin. He will also be greatly missed by his fourteen grandchildren, John (Arin), Christon (Thao), Callie (Kyle), Nicole, Danielle, Jessica, Weston, Kiersten (Mason), Kailey, Austin, Brayden, Savannah, Emmy, Jett, and great-grandchildren, Jolene and Rocky, as well as his niece, Lisa Cloud, and nephew, Kirk Barker. He was preceded in death by his father, William Bryan Cloud, mother, Iris Maudine Bills, brother, William Bryan Cloud, Jr., and sister, Iris Ruth Cloud.

The military funeral honors ceremony will be held Tuesday, November 8th at 11:30 in the morning at the Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery, 2000 Mountain Creek Parkway, Dallas, Texas 75211. The memorial service will follow at the home of Shane and Tammy Cloud, 1668 Greathouse Road, Waxahachie, Texas 75167.

Gary never wavered in his commitment to his God, his wife, his children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren, and they all knew of his love.
He also hid God's word in his heart, especially Isaiah 40:31. "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”
