Greg Elders of New Market passed away on Tuesday at the age of 66. A graduate of J.O. Johnson High School, Greg proudly served his country in the United States Navy before dedicating many years of service to United Parcel Service, where he retired.
Above all else, Greg was devoted to his family. He was incredibly proud of his sons and found great joy in watching them grow into men of character, build families of their own, and create lives they loved. The values he passed on and the close bond they shared were among his proudest achievements. His greatest happiness in recent years came from being “G-Pop” to his beloved granddaughters, Brynlee and Sloane, who brought immeasurable joy, laughter, and light to his life.
Greg was a passionate Alabama fan, he loved to hunt and fish, and enjoyed traveling. A faithful follower of Christ, Greg was a member of First Baptist Church of Meridianville. His faith served as a guiding foundation throughout his life and was reflected in the way he loved and cared for others.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Juanita McGee Elders.
Surviving family members include his sons and daughters-in-law, Jared & Mary Frances Elders and Jacob & Makayla Elders; his granddaughters: Brynlee Elders and Sloane Elders; his father, Bobby Elders; his brothers and sisters-in-law, Gary & Regina Elders and Billy & Becky Elders.
The family will receive friends on Saturday from 3pm until 4:30pm at Hazel Green Funeral Home. A Celebration of Life service will follow at 4:30pm.
Hazel Green Funeral Home is honored to serve the family.
