Gary Nolan Loftis entered this life on June 27, 1972, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, as the beloved son of Johnny and Ella Loftis. On October 30, 2024, Gary entered into eternal rest at his home, surrounded by the family he loved so dearly.

Gary was a devoted husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend who brought warmth, laughter, and kindness to all who knew him. He is preceded in death by his parents and is survived by his loving spouse, Dwayna Loftis, of the home. Left to carry forward his memory are his children, Kelsi Loftis and husband Dakota Davenport, Delila Needham and husband Shelton Needham, and Dakota Loftis and fiance' Hanna Smith.

A true jack of all trades, Gary's hands were rarely still. He found joy in working on cars, creating and building with his hands, fishing, and collecting various treasures. Above all, he loved spending time with his family, whose lives are forever enriched by his legacy of love, hard work, and laughter.
