Richard Gordon Gregory

Richard "Rick" Gordon Gregory, born to William Earle Gregory II and Mary Edra Green Gregory, entered this world on October 3, 1948. Rick passed away peacefully with his family by his side on October 4, 2023. Rick was a loving father, brother, grandfather, and friend.

In addition to his parents, Rick was preceded in death by his brother, Larry Gregory.

He is survived by his devoted son, Bradley Gregory (Kristin), his cherished daughter, Stacy Gregory, and his caring sister, Barbara Gregory. Rick is also survived by three brothers, William Earle Gregory III (Shirley), Ronnie Gregory (Linda), and Jerry Gregory. He leaves behind a legacy through his three beloved grandchildren, Morgan, Blake, and Cassidy Gregory, as well as several nieces and nephews. He also had two great friends, Stewart Hodges and Brian Billings whom he enjoyed spending time with.

Rick dedicated his career as an Engineer to Gilbarco, where he worked tirelessly until his well-deserved retirement.

Rick was a member of Oaklawn Baptist Church and served his country with honor in the US Army.

In his leisure time, Rick enjoyed the simple pleasures of life. He loved his 69 Chevy Nova and had a passion for fishing, raising and showing chickens, running rabbit dogs, riding horses, wood carving, and tending to his garden. These hobbies brought him great joy throughout his life.

A graveside service to celebrate Rick's life will be held on Tuesday, October 10, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. at Oaklawn Memorial Gardens with military honors by VFW Memorial Honor Guard and the US Army.  A visitation will take place on Monday, October 9, 2023, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Davidson Funeral Home Hickory Tree Chapel.
