Orlando Gene Ginn was born Aug. 29, 1962 in Oklahoma City to William O. Ginn Jr. and Carolyn Bouska-Ginn. He departed this life on Saturday, June 17, 2006 at his home in Midwest City at the age of 43 years, nine months and 19 days. On Aug. 28, 1981, he married Aleta Jean Spurlock at First Missionary Baptist Church, Midwest City. To this union were born a son, Michael Andrew and a daughter, Stephanie Diane.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, W.O. Sr. and Lola Ginn.

He is survived by his wife, Aleta, of the home; his son, Michael and his wife, Kara, of Oklahoma City; and his daughter, Stephanie, of the home.  He is also survived by his parents, W.O. and Carolyn Ginn of Choctaw; a brother, Marty Ginn of Choctaw; and sister, Kim Tabor of Midwest City; a brother-in-law, Ronald Spurlock of Midwest City; and a sister-in-law, Judy Forgey, of Tallahassee, Fla. Upon his death, Orlando left behind many nephews, cousins and a host of friends, that included co-workers, Christian brothers and sisters, both in and outside of his own church. Orlando was employed by the Oklahoma State Board of Regents For Higher Education in 1981. At the time of his death, he was the director of Information Systems and Chief Security Officer. Orlando had joined First Missionary Baptist Church of Midwest City at the age of 6 or 7 and served faithfully for many years. However, on Jan. 3 of this year, Orlando came to visit his pastor, emotionally distraught and stated he had never been truly saved. After considerable discussion and questioning, his pastor realized Orlando was undoubtedly correct in his own assessment. They knelt in prayer and Orlando accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior, without hesitation or doubt. He immediately began telling his friends, loved ones and anyone else who would listen about his new found faith. He came before the church for scriptural baptism and was baptized at Highland Park Baptist Church the following Sunday morning, Jan. 8, 2006. He worked steadily and diligently in the church since that date. He was the church treasurer, but also assisted in any capacity needed within the church. He was truly a great asset to Highland Park and will be sorely missed.

Funeral services were held 10 a.m. Thursday, June 22, 2006 at Barnes and Johnson Funeral Home Chapel with burial to follow at Memory Lane Cemetery in Harrah.
