Gerald L. “Gerry” GREGG II
Passed away April 17, 2012, in Renton, surrounded by his loving family, after a short but furious battle with cancer. He was born May 3, 1949 in Washington DC to Gerald and Mary Gregg, and moved with his parents to Seattle in 1954.
After graduating from Shoreline High School, he served in the US Air Force in the Viet Nam era, later receiving his Associate Degree from Highline College. He worked in the machining and construction industries, most recently for Merit Mechanical. One of his crowning achievements was building the family home in Maple Valley. Gerry had many other interests, including fishing, camping, skiing, boating, and his most recent love, golfing, playing his last game three days before his passing.
He is survived by his loving wife of 33 years, Denise (Barr) Gregg, son Erin Gregg, daughters Lindsey Henry (Justin) and Ashley Gregg, 5 grandchildren, and many other friends and family. He was preceded in death by his parents.
A memorial service will be held at Bonney-Watson Washington Memorial Park, 16445 International Blvd, SeaTac, WA, at 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM, reception to follow.

Dear Denise and your wonderful family. You have all been in my thoughts this past week. I don’t know each of the family members, but I feel that I do because your Mother and your Mamma (I’m a Mamma too) would share such delightful stories about you all and how much she loves you and loved your wonderful father. It is very sad to lose a father. But, I know you must have so many wonderful memories of your times together. I only got to meet him once as we all enjoyed a boat trip one sunny Sunday across Elliott Bay. We had fun. I smile when I think of that day. Denise, many, many hugs.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one. Death is one of the most difficult things we face in life but may it comfort you to know that others care. I have found great encouragement when reading the beautiful words penned in the Bible at Isaiah 25:8 “He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces.” May this promise bring your family comfort in this difficult time.
Gerry you will be missed. God Bless your Soul.
