Gary Lee Tudor, age 76, of Mena, passed away on Wednesday, March 6, 2024, at his home. He was born on Thursday, April 3, 1946, to John and Jessie Reynolds Tudor in Wilson, Oklahoma.
Gary was a down-to-earth man who lived life on his own terms. He found joy in simple pleasures like bass fishing and golfing, always relishing the chance to be outdoors. Known as “Mr. Fix It,” he had a knack for figuring out how things worked and making them right again. Gary’s love for 50’s and 60’s rock was evident in his favorite music, which he enjoyed listening to while working on his projects. For 25 years, he was a dedicated employee at Bills Tire Service before retiring. Gary’s practical approach to life and his knack for getting things done made him a beloved figure, leaving behind a legacy of hard work and determination.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his son, Gary Don Tudor; two brothers, M.F. Tudor, and Ray Tudor; and sisters, Ella Weast, and baby sister, Mary.
Gary is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Donna Gayle Tudor of Mena; and one granddaughter, Leslie McCourtney of Tulsa, Oklahoma; several nephews and nieces and a host of other relatives and friends.
No services are planned at this time. Cremation arrangements are entrusted to Bowser Family Funeral Home in Mena, Arkansas.
