Gary was born on March 26, 1953 in Hale County to Grady and Nina Lou Borum. He was a farmer at Kress and loved to be on the farm.  Gary had a great appreciation for nostalgia. He was an extremely hard-working man and loved a good laugh. Though he could get fired up easily which often resulted in laughter, he was very kind, generous and had a heart of gold. He was on his journey always exploring new or old territory.  He always looked his best in public and appreciated good conversations which many remember just enjoying talking with him about anything and was clearly loved beyond his recognition. He was a drummer at heart. He enjoyed family gatherings and had a heart for music and was one of the great musical talents in the family. He worked for TDCJ for 12 years in Plainview and Tulia. He retired as a correctional officer at the Tulia unit.

He is preceded in death by his parents, his brother: Terry Lynn Borum and his sister: Debbie Monroe.

He is survived by his daughter: Heather Borum of Tulia, one brother: Danny Borum and wife Kellie of Plainview, three sisters: Angie Borum of Denton, Patsy Davidson and husband Peter of Kress and Tina Borum of Amarillo and one granddaughter: Cierra Rayne Titus of Iowa.
