Obituary

Lynn Ray Gregory, 59 year old Vici, OK resident past from this life on September 18, 2021 with his family at his bedside.

Lynn was born to Clyde Jay and Inez Luvena Randall Gregory on April 15, 1962 east of Vici on the Randall family farm. His first four months of life were spent in Hardesty, OK. The family moved to Balko, OK where Lynn attended Balko Public Schools graduating with class of 1980. He was very active in the high school band and the football program.  His nickname was the Bison Bull! After graduation, Lynn moved to Liberal, KS attending the local Vo-Tech. He earned a certificate in carpentry and then moved to Vici.

Shortly after arriving at Vici, Lynn met the love of his life, Penny Baker. They were united in marriage on July 30, 1983. In 1984 the union was blessed with their first child, Shaela. Heidi followed in 1986 in Sperry, OK. In 1989 in Inola, OK daughter Amber was born. Lynn returned his family back to the panhandle by moving to Balko for a couple of years before moving back to Tulsa, OK. At Tulsa, Lynn was the head foreman of the Tulsa Monument Company. Lynn Jr. joined the family in 1992. In 1994 moved Home to Vici  where  Broady was born in 1995 and later the family was blessed with twin girls Leah and Lilly.

Lynn worked for Beaver County, Woodward County, and Dewey County as a heavy equipment operator. He loved operating the road grader, grading the roads or fighting fire for over twenty-five years. His working buddy and brother-in-law, "RB" Robin Branson was right by his side. They were also known to Coyote hunt, fish, and deer hunt together.

Lynn was baptized by Brother Donald Moss and was a member of the Vici General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn. He always told his children that he had nothing to give them but the Faith. He lived the faith until he drew his last breath, continuing to be an example to many. Lynn's love for his family was unmeasurable. Time with his wife, children, and grandkids were his favorite. He always said "my children is the air I breathe." Sitting on the porch watching the sunrise or sunset while drinking a cup of coffee with his loving wife was their favorite time together.

Lynn is preceded in death by his grandparents; his father, Clyde Gregory; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Connie and Betty Baker; a brother, Alva Gregory; sister-in-law Kari Baker; and a nephew, Derrik Rossiter.
