Gyme Warbrick
Gyme Warbrick, beloved husband, father of 5,
uncle, and grandad of 5 passed away at the age of 85
on January 7, 2021. Gyme was born in Paradise, Mon-
tana on January 29, 1935. He was an
accomplished athlete having been the
captain of both his football and track
teams. Gyme was an Air Force veteran
and patriot who had a keen interest in
politics, something he developed at a
young age while participating in the
American Legion’s Boys State pro
gram. He loved playing cards and raised a few eye
brows teaching his grammar school-aged grandchil
dren how to play poker. Gyme’s son, Perry, credits his
father for his own confidence. “He was never afraid to
take risks and try new things.” He owned and oper
ated a variety of businesses over his lifetime - nursing
homes and restaurants to name a few. Gyme and his
wife, Meri, dreamed of restoring historical homes
and in 1982, they had the opportunity to restore their
first in Barnesville, Georgia. Over the next decade and
beyond, Gyme restored many of the historical homes
on Barnesville’s Thomaston Street. When asked
what he was most proud of, he said it was rescuing
the antebellum Bailey House in downtown Jackson
which he relocated and reassembled in Cumming. As
he aged, Gyme never slowed down and was always
excited to report the number of steps he had taken at
the end of each day, often as many as 20,000. He had
a strong stubborn streak, something his daughter Ter
ry lovingly believes she inherited from him. Gyme’s
family and friends all treasured his creative vision
and ability. His daughter Connie credits him for her
own artistic eye and seeing the potential in discarded
things, tucking them away until it’s their time to be
the perfect piece needed to complete a new proj
ect. “He fixed everything 1 had that was broken,” his
daughter Cathy remembers. “Even if 1 had a broken
heart, he would try to fix that too.” In the end, Gyme’s
giant, generous heart stopped beating, but the love
he gave his friends and family gives them comfort in
their fond memories.
Written with love by his adoring daughter, Laurie.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a donation be
made to Smile Train, PO Box 96231 Washington, D.C.
20090-6231 or St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, 501 St.
Jude Place Memphis, TN 38105.
