Gary C. Aston

Gary Aston was born on September 18, 1957, and passed away on June 10, 2022, at his home in Southlake, Texas.  His sudden passing is an unfathomable loss to his family and so many friends who will all miss his towering presence with his affable Texas sized smile.

Gary graduated from Skyline High School in 1976, attended Texas Tech.  He worked in the banking and mortgage industry for over 30 years with the majority of his career at Franklin American Mortgage.

As a man who excelled in many interests, Gary loved being on the water and was an accomplished water skier and snow skier.  He enjoyed working in his garage on his cars and showing his restored Camero at car shows in Dallas. He had an eye for detail and the patience to do things right.

Gary enjoyed his friends and loved his animals. He had many American Brittany spaniels during his life and especially his last dog Buddy. He loved the breed and supported having a rescue dog.

Gary’s two horses Suzie and Marley were his closest companions. He said Susie was his best girl and Marley was his mischievous big dog. Seeing Gary’s truck with horses loaded up was a regular occurrence in the community. He loved riding, spending time outdoors, and would share his horses with friends. He never missed a Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo. Gary was an active member and supporter of TETRA (Texas Equestrian Trail Riders Association) where he had many friends.  He was very active with the Reynolds Creek Trail ride where he often volunteered. He enjoyed all things western especially John Wayne movies, fast food, Dr. Pepper and Oreos.

Gary was a wonderful man with a kind heart, always willing to help an old friend or someone he just met. From horses to horsepower, Gary had exceptional insight to share.  He touched so many lives who all treasure the memories of times we shared with him.

He is survived by his dear Mother Gloria, Uncle Ronnie Peel (Linda), Cousins Christie Peel, Mark Aston (Karen), April Aston, Kristen Aston Nowlin (Bruce) and was preceded in death by his father Elwin E. Aston and his older brother Blake Aston.
