Perry Gregory Pye

Greg was born in Corpus Christi, Texas on October 31, 1942 to Frances and Perry Glenn Pye. He grew up on the west side of Houston, TX, and graduated from Spring Branch High School in 1960. As a young boy, Greg dreamed of being a cowboy and was a member of Spring Branch Future Farmers of America. Greg graduated from Texas A&M in 1964 with a degree in Agricultural Economics. He was a proud member of Texas A&M’s Corp of Cadets and served two years as an officer in the United States Army after graduating college. After his release from the Army as a First Lieutenant, Greg met his wife, Mary Ann, while working for her father in Houston, TX, and they were married in 1968.

Greg pursued his passion with ag related career choices which took him and his family from Houston to the Texas panhandle in the early 70s. Greg and Mary Ann’s early family years were spent in Stratford, TX, while raising their two children, Garrett and Page. After nearly 10 years, Greg moved his family to Devine, TX, for warmer weather and to work for Cox Cattle Company. Greg ultimately retired as Vice President of Medina Valley State Bank in 2011, and he and Mary Ann remained in Devine until 2023. They were members of the First Baptist Church of Devine for 40 years. In 2023, they moved to Houston, TX, to be closer to their children and grandchildren.

Spending time with his family brought Greg the most joy. He was a loving father and grandfather, always curious to hear about the lives of his children and grandchildren and laughing at their stories.

Greg is survived by his beloved wife of nearly 57 years, Mary Ann Pye; son, Garrett Pye and his wife, Robyn; daughter, Page Schwertner and her husband, Brian; grandchildren, Douglas Schwertner, Jake Pye, Zach Pye, Page Pye, and Meryl Schwertner.
