Greg is preceded in death by his grandmother Clara Arnold and one uncle, David Shoup.

Greg comes from a long line of firefighters. In particular, he followed in the footsteps of his grandpa Tom and Uncles Howard and JC. Greg was a Lt. for the Roswell Fire Department. He began his career at the Fire Department in 1996. He was a member of the Hazmat Team, Firefighter I and II Instructor, EMS Instructor, and a Paramedic.

Greg enjoyed fishing, hunting, traveling with his family, playing cards with his friends, hosting family BBQs, eating cherry Twizzlers, and just having fun. He loved teaching his daughter all the tricks of building and fixing cars. He most enjoyed tinkering and the building of things. He was in the process of building his second family home. He endured the messes his wife and other family members would make for him to fix, always with a smile on his face. He was loved by his nieces and nephews, who he always laughed with and entertained. Gregs sense of humor was understood best by those he loved and loved him in return.

Pallbearers will be the Roswell Fire Department Honor Guard, and Gregs fellow firefighters.

The family will be receiving friends immediately following the service at Fire Station 1 on Richardson.

He was loved by all and will be greatly missed.

The family has requested that donations be sent to: The Kordale Houghton Fund co Valley Bank of Commerce, PO Box 2015 Roswell, NM 88202
