Greg touched so many with his generosity, wisdom, guidance, insight and very humble. Greg's vast brilliance to write, to produce and create made huge contributions that are still relevant today.
I will not forget any of those memories he had established in NYC or any place Greg could have led such talent, such contributions, as the genius to the happiness we experienced ........such brilliance early
We knew how much he loved family and will cherish the happiness, memories, brilliance and the humble, kind, spirit of Greg forever.
Greg touched the world,.........and we are fortunate to have known Greg, and that smile.

Thanks Merita,
Your message was the first one that I saw. It reminded me of when Greg came to the Olympic office and met everyone.
Sincerely,
Shirley

Shock G.. You helped wake me up when I was growing up. I didn't even know how to move when I first heard your music. You are one that I would look for to smile. Praying you are resting in heaven peacefully. Praying when you visit the ones that love an adore you that it is felt with the same love you gave on this side of heaven's gate. I love you forever. If you were one of the angels that have been by me, Thank you for your presence. Hugs. Praying for your entire family and all of your friends. That they remember everything happy about you and that God send the correct energy to help them through this. Amen.

I thought about Shock’s family today. I want you to know that you are all still in my thoughts and prayers, and I hope you all are well and in good health today. The world may have moved on, but those closest to Shock and who truly loved and cared are still feeling the loss and will always feel that void, especially with a soul like his. Just know I’m still thinking about him, you, and I know God will provide comfort from that day to today and everyday forward.
Greg “Shock”, is truly missed, and the family is still in my prayers. May God continue to wrap His loving arms around you all and multiply His love and protection ten fold.
You have my support and prayers.

Toddlers on big wheels, backyard cookouts, loads of laughter and fun with family and friends are the memories of more than 50 years ago. Greg was beautiful, talented and much loved. May the reassurance of God's everlasting love wrap you in memories and comfort as He starts to heal your broken hearts.
We are praying for you and wishing you peace.
With sympathy,
Bob & Judy Thornton and Family

I am devastated. I feel like I knew you so well from my youth through the present. You gave a voice to those like me who just didn't fit in anywhere. You let us know that we didn't have to conform and that we could just be ourselves.
Your talent is unparalleled. Thank you for your openness and willingness to be yourself and thereby giving us encouragement to be authentic as well. Rest easy and keep a seat warm for me on the other side.

My mom and i were sadden to hear of the passing of Greg. I really enjoy the 90s era born 1980 but stuck in the 90s. I'm always with the old school hip hop and your son and his group were one of many that i enjoyed with my family and friends. Humpty dance i feel will always be a classic in the music history book. Your son was very talented and so funny and handsome. May God Bless him in his home and he shines down brightly over his family. We send our sympathy and prayers during this time to you all. You will be missed forever in our hearts Peace and humptiness forever. Your Fans Dawn & Diane

May God surround your family with peace and comfort at this time.
Shock was a true legend and a pioneer, just amazing! Shock, thank you for your contribution, class, and gift of wisdom to the world! Job well done, my brother. May God bless you all, and that He provide everlasting comfort.
This is not easy at all and still unbelievable, but I know that dash from when we come into this world from the time we transition, that dash means a lot. Shock’s dash was remarkable with so much he accomplished just in that short time. Job well done, thank you, and I will miss you.

Heartbreaking loss. I discovered Shock’s musical genius as a middle school kid in 1990. His artistic impact on the world of music and on me personally cannot be overstated. Gone but never forgotten.
