Dennis McGregory Obituary
Dennis Leon McGregory, husband of Kim Charice Bennett-McGregory, passed away peacefully at home on February 9, 2026
Born in Sanford, North Carolina, Dennis was the eldest son of Willie Daniel McGregory and Ernice Johnson McGregory.
Dennis was preceded in death by his sisters Dale McGregory and Carolyn McGregory.
Dennis is survived by his beloved wife Kim of over 30 years, his father Willie D. McGregory. His children Nyasia Butts of Queens NY, Gerard Bennett (Breunna) of Anderson SC, Quanisha Grandstaff (Devon) of Central SC, Dennis McGregory (Abby) of Central SC, Jahshua McGregory of Central SC, and Jahyra Allen, of Brooklyn NY; his beloved grandchildren Kayden Grandstaff, Karter Grandstaff, Franklin Adonis Booker, Dennis Leon McGregory, and Landon Malcom McGregory; he is also survived by his siblings, Daniel McGregory, Delanta McGregory, and Tiesha McGregory and host of nieces, nephews and cousins.
Dennis was known for his tasty recipes. He found great joy in serving others and loved cooking. In his career he prepared meals for the engineers and staff at Flour Daniel / Engineering, as well as the students and staff at Furman University. Loved cooking for gatherings of family and friends.
He enjoyed traveling throughout the North and Southeast to visit family and friends, making special memories at theme parks and relaxing days at the beach. His visits to see his father in North Carolina were among his most treasured times.
Dennis liked to attend meetings, assemblies, and conventions of Jehovah's Witnesses with his wife and children, drawing strength and joy.
He was an avid movie enthusiast and enjoyed watching the anime series Dragon Ball Z. Music was also dear to his heart, and his favorite artist were Biggie Smalls and Mary J. Blige. Above all, Dennis treasured the moments he spent with his beloved grandchildren.
More than anything, Dennis will be remembered for his deep and abiding love for his family and all his children — a love that was steady, generous, and unconditional.
A visitation will be held Friday, February 20, 2026 from 6:00PM until 8:00PM at Duckett-Robinson Funeral Home & Crematory.
A memorial service will be held Saturday, February 21, 2026 at 1:00 PM at Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witness in Norris.
