It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of James "Boy" Gregg, who left us on April 17, 2026. Born on August 28, 1951, James lived a life richly woven with compassion, dedication, and an unwavering love for people and his community. His gentle spirit and generous nature left an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing him.
James was known far and wide not only for his warm heart but also for his meaningful contributions to those around him. He possessed a rare quality—the ability to truly care. This care extended beyond words, manifesting in countless acts of kindness that uplifted and strengthened his community. His legacy is one of empathy, support, and genuine connection, traits that made him a beloved figure and a steadfast friend.
Those who knew James remember a man who approached life with sincerity and purpose. Whether lending a listening ear, offering a helping hand, or simply sharing a smile, he embraced each moment with grace and humility. His kindness was a beacon of hope, quietly guiding others through their own journeys and reminding them of the power of compassion.
