We are saddened to
announce that Gary Lynn Kilgore, long time Administrative Law Judge and Appeals
Panel Judge, with the Texas Workers’ Compensation Commission and the Texas
Department of Insurance-Division of Workers’ Compensation, passed away on September
23, 2022 at the age of 69.
Mr. Kilgore attended college at the University of Virginia and earned his Juris
Doctor in 1978 at the University of Texas School of Law. He served as managing
partner of Garcia & Kilgore, attorneys, for over 16 years before joining
the Texas Workers’ Compensation Commission where he served as an Appeals Panel
Judge for 12 years.
Thereafter, Gary heard cases as a Hearing Officer with the Division of Workers’
Compensation for 4 years before serving as Associate Director of Legal Services
with the Office of Injured Employee Counsel, in which capacity he served for
over 13 years.
Mr. Kilgore returned to the Appeals Panel in 2019 prior to his retirement this
year.
Those of us that knew Gary found him to be a wealth of knowledge regarding the
workers’ compensation law and institutional system in Texas. He was an
outstandingly gifted writer, a delightful conversationalist, and a student of
the law and American and world history. We will miss you, Gary….
