He was employed by and retired from the Arkansas Department of Transportation after 30 years of service to them. He was an avid hunter, of deer, duck and squirrels most of his life and most importantly he was an active member of the Patmos Church of Christ.

Greg enjoyed finding restaurants whether close by or far away and vacationing with his family during the Summer. He as well had a love for football, basketball, and food shows were some of his favorite things to watch on T.V. He had many special friends and cousins who always laughed as he told jokes.

He was preceded in death by both his parents, his grandparents, Uncle James Stanley, Uncle Frank Olney, Uncle Gerald and Aunt Betty Nix, and his stepfather, Mr. Ray Norwood.

He is survived by and leaves to cherish many memories, his wife, Mrs. Mayme Leslie Eddy of Stamps, Arkansas, one daughter, and her fiancé, Michelle Eddy and Michael Chapa of North Little Rock, Arkansas.

The family wishes to share a special thanks to Dr. Sunri Patel and the staff of chemo professionals at Collum and Carney Oncology in Texarkana, Texas as well as the staff and professionals of Enhabit Hospice of Texarkana. Both provided him with wonderful care during his journey and battle with cancer.
