Gary W. Moody Sr. aka Tru- Blu was born January 21, 1952 in Toledo, Ohio to the now deceased parents Frank Moody and Emma H. Moody. He was a widower of Brenda B Moody (Black). He is survived by his only brother Michael K. Moody and his only niece Latisha Toyer. His children DeVenia Johnson (Moody), Gary W. Moody Jr. Shannon Moody, Ciara Moody, and Brittney Moody. He had a host of grandchildren and a special granddaughter London Mugashe. Gary Sr. also leaves to mourn his aunt Frances Stoudemire and James Leroy Hammond, special cousin Stanley Jones and family and friends.
He worked and retired from Lakeshore Thermatru. He enjoyed his spending time with his family, working in his yard, riding his bike down to City Park, listening to music and watching movies at the same time. He had a good eye for collecting items that were antique and or different. He will be truly missed by his loved ones.
My dad was a truly great guy and one of a kind and he will truly be missed by his children and friends. He was a dreamer, inventor and a handyman and constantly fixed stuff for his daughters. He loved to laugh and use one of his many sayings but the most used in all situations was “everybody gets a turn.”
This is who G.A.R.Y W. M.O.O.D.Y aka T.R.U B.L.U was to me
G= great provider, go getter, generous
A = amazing, attentive
R = right and I mean always right in his mind lol
Y = young at heart
W = warm hearted
M = mentally tough and motivated
O = odd but in a good way, those who knew him know what I am talking about
O = outgoing
D = determined to do things his way
Y = yearning for the best for his children
T= tolerant, talkative, talented
R= real, relatable, and reliable
U = understanding in times of despair
B= black, bold, bald and proud of it
L = loving, loyal, likeable
U = unable to make a long story short and it is for all those reasons that his children love him. I am truly sad that I cannot be here at this time but he knew I had travel plans and wished me congratulations and a safe trip. He wanted me to bring him a tee shirt back and I will in memory of him. Love you dad
