Gregory Bond Obituary

BOND, Gregory Carl Gregory Carl Bond was born at the United States Navel Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland on May 28, 1955 and passed away peacefully on November 6, 2019 after a brief battle with cancer. He is survived by his loving wife, Terri Bond and predeceased by his parents, Carl Ray Bond and Hazel Katherine Shiek and one brother Rodney. Greg graduated from Princeton High School in Princeton, TX where he was an all-state athlete. He went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Forestry in 1977 from Stephen F. Austin State University and a Master of Science in Forestry in 1980. Throughout his time at SFA, Greg competed in lumberjack competitions and to this day still holds the record in log chopping. In 1977, he competed in the Lumberjack World Championship placing 6th in the world. After graduation, Greg joined his father in the concrete cutting business and went on to create an extremely successful business, Concrete Cutting by Bond which he ran for the next 27 years. He then brought his talents to Pavecon where he remained as Sales Manager until his death. Greg loved the outdoors and was an accomplished big game hunter and fisherman. He traveled the world conquering mountains, desert and the sea after his quarry. He obtained elite status through his many hunting awards including, but not limited to the Dallas Safari Club's highest honor, the Outstanding Hunter Achievement Award in 2008. He served as president of the Dallas Safari Club in 1998 and was a board member of the Texas Bighorn Society for several years. He was an active member of numerous hunting and conservation organizations and was extremely dedicated and passionate about conservation and teaching this to future generations. Greg was an intelligent and yet uncomplicated man who will be dearly missed for his quick wit, happy disposition, strength and great big bear hugs. A celebration of life is scheduled for Monday, November 18, 2019 at 2:00 pm at the Chapel at Prestonwood Baptist Church, 6801 W. Park Blvd., Plano TX. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation at PO Box 543305, Dallas TX 75354 or T. Boone Pickens Hospice at 12477 Merit Dr., Dallas, TX 75251.

Greg was one of the first guys I met when I began working at DSC. 25 years of knowing him with lots of memories. He always had a big smile or smirk depending on the occasion; a big laugh; a bear hug and just kind words asking how everything was going. I will miss him and miss seeing him and his smile. Terri, you are in my prayers as you go through this time of loss and grief. I am so sorry for your loss. Rest in Peace Greg.... until we meet again.
