Elvis Gregory Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 21, 2025.
Elvis Aaron Gregory, age 47, of Woodland Park, Colorado, graduated to heaven on January 14, 2025. He was born on January 10, 1978, in Chico, California, son of Rocky and Kay Gregory.

Elvis spent most of his childhood growing up in Red Bluff, California, playing little league baseball and enjoying the outdoors. In high school, Elvis discovered his new passion for working on cars when he received a gift of a Volkswagen Beetle.

Elvis graduated from Red Bluff High School in 1996 and moved to Phoenix, Arizona, to begin a career as an automotive technician. Elvis had a strong desire to perfect his talent and achieved several ASE certifications and promotions. His biggest award was Technician the Year for Meineke.

In 2010, he was able to escape the big city to live in the outdoors he loved so much as a child. He moved to Woodland Park and enjoyed all the aspects of mountain living. Every year, he spent the late summer and early fall logging firewood in Pike National Forest. But his true mission, in the forest, was to find the perfect Christmas tree to bring home every December.

During the spring and summer months, Elvis loved to spend his evenings on the softball fields of Woodland Park, Divide, and Cripple Creek. Elvis' skill, charisma and fun-loving attitude will be remembered at the ball field for years.

Elvis is survived by his loving parents, Rocky and Kay, his sister Deana, brother James and sister-in-law Ginny. He will also be missed and remembered by his four nephews and four nieces. Elvis' memory will be cherished by his many aunts, uncles, cousins and other family members spread across Arizona, Colorado, Ohio, Oregon and Washington.

Elvis was preceded in passing by his sister, Shannon Gregory (1981-2003).

Elvis will be remembered for his quick wit, satirical smile and work ethic. He cared deeply for the people he was close to and was fiercely protective of his friends and family.

A Celebration of Life service will be held at Calvary Chapel 12375 Paskenta Road in Red Bluff, California on Saturday March 15th at 1:00 pm.
