Gary Wayne McRae, 58, of Georgetown, TX, passed away on January 10, 2024. He was born on April 24, 1965, in Irving, Texas, to the late Charles A. McRae and Carol S. McRae. Gary is survived by his beloved wife Jan Harvey McRae, his brother, Brian A. McRae (Gretchen), and his sister, Laura Slayton (Donnie). He was also cherished by his five nephews and nieces.<\/p>\n

Gary had a remarkable career as a firefighter and paramedic. He dedicated his life to serving others, working in Irving, TX, Aurora, CO, and Colorado Springs, CO. Gary\u2019s passion for his profession was evident as he became the valedictorian of each of his three firefighter classes. His commitment and skill earned him numerous accolades, including winning two gold, five silver, and one bronze medal in the 1988, 1990, and 1994 Fire Fighter Olympics.<\/p>\n

Outside of his career, Gary had a wide range of interests and hobbies. He was an avid cyclist and completed four \u201cEveresting\u201d rides, which took from 15 to 40 hours to complete and involved riding the equivalent of climbing Mount Everest – over 29,000 feet. A fierce competitor, Gary once defeated Lance Armstrong in a bicycle race. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and caring for his aquarium fish. Additionally, Gary cultivated a musical talent that he used to serve others. \u2026<\/p>\n
