Today 5/18/19 I received an email from Jo Beth about the passing of Coy. Coy and I both worked for Southwest Wheel for many years, he in Lubbock and I in Houston. We both were mangers of our respective branches and I have got to say I really looked up to him as mentor. He was well respected by all at SWW and in later years as a Dexter Axle representative. Coy and I remained friends through the internet and conversed and sent jokes back forth for years. In fact I had just gotten one recently. I will miss those more than anyone will know. I was totally shocked and saddened by the news of his passing. My prayers and thoughts go out to the Gilliam family. May he RIP and God bless you Jo Beth.

I just learned about Coy's passing. He was a long time acquaintance, even back to our high school days. He was a very kind man and he kept me up on some of our friends. He encouraged me recently when I had a health problem. He was my friend and everybody's friend. I will miss him greatly. I send my condolences to Beth and all of her family members.

Dear Jo Beth, we were saddened to learn of your loss. I felt as if all your students knew Coy too because you always spoke of him so proudly as he was truly your soulmate. Know he’s in His hands now. Our prayers to your family. Sincerely,Kay Smith

So very sorry to hear about Coy. I’ve told you before how some of my favorite memories growing up were of listening to you guys playing cards with my parents while my brother and I were supposed to be sleeping. Later ,when I was helping dad, I always enjoyed having to go pick something up at”Southwest Wheel” because I got to catch up with Coy. Kay and Tom thought the world of you guys and I know they cherished all those memories of the times y’all spent together. Karmen and I will be keeping you and your family in our thoughts. All our love-Mark and Karmen-
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

So sad this morning to here of Coy’s passing. It seems like only yesterday that Coy, Beth, my Uncle Larry and Anne Templeton, and Sandy and I would meet at Granny’s ranch to fish and enjoy the outdoors. Time flies by and we soon realize how short our lives really are. Coy made the most of life and will be missed. Beth.... you and Cobe and the grandkids will be in Sandy and my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so thankful for the years I was welcomed into the Gilliam's dear Sunday lunches. I learned so much observing Papa and his loving, gentle spirit. He had a servant heart and was always silently working and helping with everything. He gave the best hugs and his smile warms my heart just remembering it. He was special in so many ways and I'm blessed to have known and I don't say that lightly. Blessings to the Gilliam family, what a treasure you had in Papa. Praying for you as you mourn and remember his life.-Dessie "York" Cunningham

My thoughts and prayers are with you now as you face this sad time. I will miss Coy as he was a constant being at Southcrest for me. He sat in front of me and always treated me as someone special when he smiled and shook my hand. I know you will miss his strength as well as his presence. God Bless all of you.
