Obituary:

Garold "Dee" Aldridge, 52 of Tyrone, MO passed away on Friday, February 27, 2015 at his home.  He was born on April 25, 1962 in Willow Springs, MO the son of Oral and Audrey (Nichols) Aldridge.  Dee attended school at Tyrone through the 4 ^th grade and then attended Summersville where he graduated from high school.

Dee's love for cars began at an early age when he and his sister, Jeannie got in their mother's car, one worked the pedals and the other the steering wheel.  Their trip was very short as they soon landed in the ditch.  When he was small he didn't want to take a bath even though he was very dirty, so his sisters put him in the tub and used pot scrubbers and soap.  Their parents were glad to see Dee was clean but not too happy that they had scrubbed him raw.

Dee was united in marriage to Cyndi Rabe in April 1983 and to this union son, Trenton was born in 1991.  In 1994, Dee married Julie Cruttenden and their daughter, Mica joined the family in 1999.

At the time of his passing, Dee was working for Carter Heating and Cooling in Cabool.  He had also served long stints at Brown Shoe Factory and Southern Missouri Natural Gas.  Dee was an outdoor guy, he enjoyed hunting, but he especially enjoyed working with his hands and cars.  He always enjoyed getting together with family.

Dee was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Danny Aldridge.  He is survived by his children, Trenton Aldridge of Branson, MO and Mica Aldridge of Tyrone, MO; four sisters, Rosemary Mooney of Tyrone, MO, Jeannie McAlister and husband, John of Piedmont, MO, Patty Aldridge of Tyrone, MO and Annette Hartman and husband, Brian of Summersville, MO; as well as many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.  He will be dearly missed by those who knew and loved him.
