Hello I just want to share that my name is also Gregory and I run everyday past the same exact spot this man was killed for almost 10 years now. I would guess that maybe I have run that exact route over 2000 times...... I run past it for years before and now I continue past it everyday and give a nod. I never knew his name was Greg. I also run many 5ks. Obviously I'm quite shocked at the similarities. If you live on Cherry Creek you've most certainly seen me running... rain or shine.... Hope they solve this!

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I didn't know Mr. Fanning personally, but would often see him riding his bike in the neighborhood. I live at the complex where he was found Sunday night. I haven't slept since that time. I cannot even begin to imagine your pain. Please know that the people in the neighborhood care and have been deeply affected by this tragedy. I will continue to keep you in my thoughts. My sincerest condolences.
