Gary Denzil Sims

Gary Denzil Sims, age 63, of Palestine, Texas, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Monday, the 22nd day of August 2022. Mr. Sims was born in Palestine, Texas, on the 11th day of September 1958, to parents Virgle Sims, Jr. and Helen May Sims.

Mr. Sims was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend.  He worked hard in the oil field most of his life, but he always made time for his family and friends, especially his grandchildren, who he dearly loved.  Mr. Sims was a true outdoorsman and loved all of God’s creation.  He enjoyed being in the open air, listening to the birds, fishing, and interacting with his pet dogs. Mr. Sims was very loved and will be greatly missed until the day we are all reunited in Heaven.  

Mr. Sims is preceded in death by his parents Virgle and Helen Sims, and his brother, Keith Sims.

Mr. Sims will live in the hearts of his devoted wife of ten years, Kim Sims; daughter, Hannah Pacheco and husband Juan; son, Robert Bechtel and wife K’Lynn; sister, Stacey Musick; and his grandchildren, Paislee, Brooklee, Madelyn, and Cinch.  He is also survived by many other family members and friends.

The family will celebrate the life of Mr. Sims at a memorial service at a later date.
