Gary Lynn Rushing, age 68, of Pine Bluff, passed away Saturday, Aug. 31, 2024.
Born Jan. 20, 1956, in Little Rock, he was a son of the late A.B. Rushing, Sr. and Allie Belle Garner Rushing. He attended Watson Chapel High School.
Gary was a master plumber and founded Razorback Plumbing Company in 1981. He was proud of the service he provided, and he considered many of his customers to be family.
He enjoyed deer hunting, being on Lake Ouachita, and spending time with his family and friends. The thing he loved most was being Papaw. He loved his granddaughters, and he was always there to support them.
Gary had a big smile and an even bigger heart. He never met a stranger, and he will be missed by many.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by seven siblings, Buddy Rushing, J.T. Rushing, Emmer Jean Lawrence, Christine Wiley, Havis Rushing, Michael Wayne Rushing, and Roger Dale Rushing.
Gary is survived by his daughter, Jamey Rushing Tice (Josh); three granddaughters, Jacey Tice, Jessa Tice, and Jovie Tice; three sisters, Shirley Beatty, Trish Rushing Carpenter (Dale), and Charlotte Best; along with numerous nieces and nephews.
