While in law enforcement, Greg was awarded numerous commendations for extraordinary service in the line of duty and his service during Hurricane Katrina. Nothing brought Greg more happiness than spending time with his family. Greg loved the outdoors and spent his time away from work vacationing with his family on camping trips, at the lake, on the beach, or at family reunions. Greg was always active outdoors and had a passion for baseball, pickleball, and kayaking. A few of his favorite family vacations included family camping vacations and his Falcon family reunions at Camp Wood, Texas. If you knew him by "Booger", "Cookie", or just Greg, you know he never met a stranger. Greg loved to help others and was always eager to jump in and help out friends and strangers alike.
