Greg was blessed with eight grandchildren, each of whom brought him tremendous joy. He loved spending time with them and took great pride in their interests—whether in sports, academics, or dance.
Greg was an avid outdoorsman who found peace and purpose on his farm.
Above all, Greg adored his children and grandchildren. Whether he was cheering at sporting events, listening to stories about dance, taking them hunting on the farm, riding horses with his sons, or raising chickens, he embraced every moment. He enjoyed all that life had to offer, so long as he shared it with them.
Greg inherited his musical talent from his father and found great joy in playing the guitar and fiddle, especially Bluegrass and Southern Gospel music. He was an enthusiastic Alabama football fan, particularly during the fall—and loved spending time outdoors hunting, tending to his blueberry bushes, caring for his goats, and enjoying the loyal companionship of his dog, Tyler.
Greg committed his life to Christ through baptism at the age of 13. In recent years, he renewed his dedication to his faith, leading singing at his church and participating in visitations at area nursing homes for their Sunday services.
He was a devoted member of Center Star Church of Christ in Killen, Alabama.
