Gregory McCoy Obituary

Gregory Harold McCoy

June 16, 1950 - January 17, 2022

Gregory Harold McCoy, age 71, passed away on January 17, 2022 from the cruel ravages of dementia. He was born in Longview to Robert Junior McCoy and Thelma Doris McCoy (Zumsteg) on June 16, 1950.

Greg was preceded in death by his parents, grandparents, numerous aunts and uncles and a brother, Peter Kevin.

He is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Denise and his two beautiful sons, Dennis and Shane.

As the eldest of 11 children, Greg is also survived by his 6 brothers Jim (Cheryl) Ray (Ruth), Tim, Brad (Barb), Doug (Kriste) and Sterling (Debbie) McCoy. He is also survived by his 4 sisters, Debbie McCoy, Wanda (John) Willet, Linda (George) Normandin, and Yvonne (Adam) Hamer.

Greg is also survived by his brother and sister in-laws, Randy (Barbara) Lancaster, Scott (Shelia) Schroeder, Steve (Cyndi) Schroeder, and Kimber (Brad) Loomis. Last but not least he is survived by 34 nieces and nephews and their children and many friends.

Greg graduated from Mark Morris High School in 1968 and retired from Reynolds Metals after 33 years of service. His favorite pastimes were hunting, fishing, gardening and occasional trips to casinos. He was a proud member of the NRA and the Rocky Mt. Elk Foundation. Greg will be remembered for his sense of humor and his fun loving personality.

Cremation has taken place by Neptune Cremation Services. As believers, we know that Greg is healthy and happy in God's living arms.

At Greg's request, there will be no services.

My sincerest condolences go to the McCoy family. I worked with Greg at Reynolds for a time and knew him for much longer. He had a great sense of humor and was fun to be around. I am saddened by his passing. His fishing exploits were legondary along with his work partner Quince. I considered him to be a good friend whom i have missed since the shut down and will greatly miss at his passing. Prayers for the family.
