Rowdy was born on October 26, 1961 in Littlefield, Texas to Arlin and Patsy Jennings. He married Lori Jennings on August 2, 1980 and together had two children, Gary, Jr. and Patrena. Rowdy worked for Lockheed-Martin for nearly 24 years – a career he thoroughly enjoyed. As a child, he enjoyed outdoor activities including Play Days, and Rodeos. Later in his life, his hobby was tinkering with motors and admiring classic cars. A devout Christian, Rowdy was a long-time member of the New Prospect Baptist church where he was a Deacon and Song Leader. Rowdy was willing to “help anyone in need” and he “never met a stranger.” Most of all, Rowdy will be remembered for being a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who cherished time spent with his family.

Rowdy is survived by his wife, Lori; his children, Gary Jennings, Jr. and his wife, Misty Jennings and Patrena Renee Bledsaw and her husband Tray Bledsaw; grandchildren, Kaileigh, Hagen, Graydin, Sierra, Dakota and McKayla; his siblings, Gloria and husband Fred Holder, Arlin and wife Kathy Clester, Boyd and wife Doris Goen, Gayelynne Jennings and fiancée Tom Meadows, and Pam and husband Doug Opfer; by numerous nieces and nephews; and by his brothers-in-law, Eugene Stockstill and Steve Greer.

In addition to his parents, Rowdy was preceded in death by his sisters, Karen Stockstill and Carol Greer.
