Greg McEntyre
Gregory (Greg) Eugene McEntyre passed away on March 1, 2017, due to complications of open heart surgery.
Greg was born on Nov. 9, 1960 to Robert Wayne “Pruney” McEntyre, Jr. and the late Jackie Smith McEntyre. In addition to his mother, he was preceded in death by his grandmother, Pearl Ray McEntyre; grandfather, Wayne McEntyre, Sr.; and grandmother, Mable Everett.

Wherever Greg went he brought joy and laughter to everyone, and he was deeply loved by his family and friends.
