Dr. Gary Lee Postelwait was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma in August 26, 1953. He graduated from Oklahoma State University with a degree in Osteopathic Medicine in 1982 after completing his undergraduate in 1975.
Gary worked as a doctor of internal medicine with his own practice in Broken Arrow for many years. He sold his practice during his successful recovery from cancer.
He is survived by his wife Karen Denise Postelwait, originally of Vinita; their two children, Blake, his wife Beth, their children Bryn and June; Jeff, his wife Megan, their children Xander and Archer; his brother Larry, his wife Sandy, their children Scott, his wife Sarah, their children Ty and Gavin; and niece Jennifer Nottingham, husband David and their children Easton and Lynlee; his nieces Nicole Millikan, Carly Paige Tway; and his nephew Kevin Coulter Tway; sisters in law Tammie Tway and Cindy Millikan and a host of friends and colleagues.
He was preceded in death by his parents Jack and Margaret “Faye” Postelwait.
In life, Gary loved inviting his family over for cookouts and swim days in the summer, target shooting, fishing, and motorcycle riding. He was also an avid audiophile and could often be found tinkering in the garage or taking care of his yard.
Gary’s faith was important to him, and he often donated his time to the free clinic his church ran in Broken Arrow, providing medical care at no cost.
