The Passing of Gary Lee Stamey
I hope this is not too inappropriate for this site but Gary lived in Cody for some time and several other towns in Wyoming along the way. He was a mentor and friend and I suspect there may be a couple of folks here who might have known him. Please delete at your discretion.
Gary Lee Stamey, age 56, died Monday, December 10, 2007, at his residence.
He was born in Haywood County, but always called Buncombe County his home. He was a former resident of Cody, WY and Meeker, CO. He was preceded in death by a brother, Larry Ray Stamey. He graduated from Enka High School in 1969. After his military service, he worked in the Rocky Mountains for numerous companies and was formerly a western supervisor for NORPAC Exploration. He owned and operated his own business in North Carolina setting up and remodeling modular homes. Hunting, fishing, computers, and reading were activities Gary enjoyed.
He was a very dedicated veteran of the United States Army serving in Vietnam as a helicopter crew chief from February, 1969 until February, 1970. During his service, he was a recipient of two Bronze Stars, one Purple Heart, and 137 combat air medals. He was a lifetime member of the 101st Airborne Association and a lifetime member of the Vietnam Helicopter Crew Member Association. At the time of his death, he was a disabled veteran diagnosed with PTSD.
