Gregory Statesman Obituary



Gregory John Statesman

SIERRA VISTA, AZ: Gregory John Statesman, age 33, a native of Troy, currently living in Sierra Vista, AZ, passed away August 25, 2013.

He was born January 17, 1980 in Troy to James Statesman, who survives and the late Bertha "Bunny" Statesman.

In addition to his father, Greg is survived by his loving wife, Laura (Fikes) Statesman; daughters, Olivia Marie Statesman and Addison Elyse Statesman; brother, Michael (Carrie) Statesman; nephews, Braeden and Bryson; niece, Brooke; mother and father-in-law, Norma and Chuck Fikes; and many other relatives and friends, including special cousin, Kevin Burns and his family.

Greg was a successful United States Border Patrol Agent stationed in Douglas, AZ and was a dedicated member of the elite Quick Response Team. His ultimate dream was to be part of BORTAC (Border Patrol Tactical Unit). He was also a proud veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard, where he was stationed at Marblehead, OH.

Greg was a 1998 graduate of Tipp City High School and attended Sinclair Community College, where he was in pursuit of his desired passion of cars. Most of all Greg set the standard of fatherhood; he provided strength and wisdom and always set the example. He was dedicated to family and friends. Without question, he would do anything at a drop of a hat for anyone. He had an infectious smile that will never be forgotten. Greg was an amazing, loving husband who will be deeply missed and loved unconditionally forever. His love and strength was embedded and will be carried on forever.

I just heard of Greg's passing. My heart and prayers go out to you all. I worked with Norma and didn't know Greg personally. Norma always spoke highly of Greg and knew how happy he made Laura and how well he provided for his little girls. May God give you all peace and may His arms wrap around this family during your time of grief. I'm so sorry.
