His vibrant spirit lit up any room, and his love for a good party was unparalleled.

Their bond was unbreakable, and Greg cherished every moment they shared together, whether it was passing on his wisdom and love for fishing or sharing their weekly McGriddle. He will serve as a constant reminder to seize the day and embrace every adventure that comes our way.
