Gary Wayne Heath

Gary Wayne Heath was a young man who chose a life of public service in Greenville, Alabama. Identified in official state records as an officer with the Greenville Police Department, he served his community as a uniformed law‑enforcement officer and represented the dedication expected of those who answer the call to protect others.

Public records that memorialize Alabama’s fallen officers record his death on June 14, 1994. He was 25 years old at the time of his passing. Local remembrances and law‑enforcement memorial lists place his name among those honored by the Greenville community and by statewide compilations noting officers who lost their lives in the line of duty in 1994. The same day also claimed the life of a convenience store clerk, a loss acknowledged alongside his in several memorial listings.

Though I was unable to locate a published, family‑authorized obituary or funeral notice matching his full name and the exact date of death, multiple reliable public sources record Officer Heath’s service and the date he died. Those official and local remembrances show that his name endures in community memory and in directories that honor Alabama officers who fell while serving the public.

Gary Wayne Heath’s life, though brief, was defined by service. The public record is limited in personal detail, but the fact that communities and law‑enforcement organizations continue to name and remember him speaks to the human cost felt by Greenville and the enduring respect for those who serve. He is remembered with gratitude for his willingness to serve and with sympathy for the family and community who survived him.
