Gary Michael “Mike” Greenhaw
Gary Michael “Mike” Greenhaw, 72, formerly of Streetman passed away peacefully July 28, 2025, in Moore, Okla., surrounded by loved ones.
Born May 8, 1953, in Dallas, Mike was a son of the late William “Bill” Greenhaw and the late Lavena Shotwell Greenhaw.
After attending high school in Mabank, Mike's passion for hard work led him to build a successful career owning and operating G & G Septic Tanks and Construction in Seven Points.
For many years, he made his living installing septic systems, driveways, culverts and hauling dirt and rock—if a job needed doing, Mike could handle it, especially from the seat of his yellow John Deere 300B.
He believed in doing things right the first time and took pride in a job well done, earning the respect and trust of his community through his dedication and skill.
As the area around Richland Chambers Reservoir grew, Mike expanded his business there as well. He was a true entrepreneur—opening the first hardware store at the lake and later owning and growing Fisherman’s Point Marina. Under his leadership, the marina added a café and installed the first fuel pumps on the south side of the lake, further serving the community he loved.
When Mike wasn’t working, he could almost always be found outdoors. He found peace and joy in hunting, fishing, gardening, tending to his cows and spending time with his dogs.
If he wasn’t on a tractor or riding around in his buggy, he was likely smoking meat or getting ready for a good old-fashioned fish fry. These simple pleasures reflected the heart of who he was—grounded, patient, and deeply connected to the land.
Most mornings began the same way: with a strong cup of black coffee and an episode of The Price Is Right—a routine as steady and dependable as he was.
Mike was preceded in death by his beloved Australian Shepherd June Bug, his parents, brother Randy Greenhaw and his nephew John Timothy Greenhaw.
He is survived by daughters Toni Parrie and husband Jeremy Parrie of Moore, Okla. and Kim Greenhaw Melton of Amarillo, brother Tim Greenhaw of Seven Points, grandchildren James Janssen (Zoe Herring) of Amarillo, Brittney Janssen of Vega, Kacey Dowlen (Alycia Dowlen) of Amarillo, Maeghan Parrie (Hunter Johnson) of Moore, Okla. and Conner Parrie of Moore, Okla. and great-grandchildren Allie, Tinsley, Preslea and Sawyer.
Mike also leaves behind a loving extended family of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends, as well as his faithful four-legged friend Budro.
Funeral services were held Aug. 8, 2025, at Eubank Cedar Creek Funeral Home. Interment followed at King Cemetery in Kemp.
