The Lord called Gary Lynn Goodlett home at the age of 59 on Sunday, July 2, 2006 after a short battle with aggressive stomach cancer. He passed peacefully at home with close friends and family in attendance. Gary was born June 2, 1947 in San Angelo, Texas to Joseph Oliver and Velma Mildred (Williams) Goodlett. He was in the first graduating class for paramedics in HFD and served in that capacity for thirteen years. After leaving that branch, he became an engineer operator. His last station assignment was at Station 31 on the B shift before his retirement in 2004. He took the greatest pride in belonging to the brotherhood of firefighters and leaves behind many brothers who grieve the passing of their friend, but continue to contribute to acts of heroism day in and day out.
