Gary Alan Reynolds

Gary Alan Reynolds passed away peacefully August 20 at Hospice Brazos Valley in Bryan, Texas.

Gary was born in Newton, Massachusetts on October 15, 1966 to Ernest and Janice Reynolds. He was a graduate of Dulles High School in Sugar Land, Texas in 1984. He earned his bachelor’s degree in industrial distribution in 1988 and his master’s in educational administration in 1992, both from Texas A&M University. Gary held various recruiting, coaching and athletic director positions in college and professional football beginning as a graduate student at Texas A&M, then at the University of Tennessee, the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks before returning “home” for a successful 8 year career as Texas A&M’s director of football operations prior to moving into his associate athletics director role. He most recently served as the senior director of development for the Texas A&M Foundation and the College of Geosciences since August of 2018.

Gary was a man of faith and a devoted father to his daughters, Hannah and Olivia.

He is survived by his beloved wife Jessica Malatek Reynolds; his daughters Hannah Elizabeth Reynolds and Olivia Marie Reynolds; mother Janice Bothwell Reynolds; sister Susan Drysdale: brothers Thomas Reynolds and wife Suzanne, Charles Reynolds, Mark Reynolds and wife Linda, Donald Reynolds and wife Chiko.

Gary’s passion for Texas A&M began before he set foot in his first college class. Fish Camp made a great impact on him when he attended as a freshman that he went on to attend as a counselor three times. It is also where he met his wife Jessica.

Gary touched many lives in the selfless way he served others. Honor his life by supporting the Jessica ’88 and Gary Reynolds ‘88 Fish Camp Scholarship, which will help incoming freshmen students with financial need attend Texas A&M University’s Fish Camp.
