Love At First Sight
It was love at first sight for Gary LeVox. He met Tara Vernon back stage at gospel music festival in Decatur, Alabama, while he was there as a backup singer for a gospel artist. In a past interview with CMT Radio, Gary shared, “A lady came up and was standing with her daughter [Tara], and we were just talking. And I knew at that moment that I was looking at my future wife. It was the weirdest thing ever.” On May 15, 1999 Gary married his sweetheart. Together they have two daughters, Brittany Kay Vernon, born August 26, 2000 and Brooklyn Leigh Vernon, born March 21, 2004. Although Gary and Tara make their home in Tennessee, in his heart, Ohio is still “Home Sweet Home.”
