Greg Hightower Obituary
March 12, 1965 - January 26, 2025
Greg was the kindest, gentlest man. He would help anyone with anything that they needed. He was a talented musician and could hear beautiful music even in the most ordinary things. He loved fishing with his uncle and dad. He loved working on cars with his uncle, family and dearest friends. He always loved working on a Ford.
He loved to laugh and bring laughter and joy to everyone around him. He always had a twinkle in his eye, smile on his face, and a song in his heart.
He had a big heart for his family. Family was so precious to him. He will be greatly missed by all who ever knew him.
He is survived by his loving wife and best friend of 39 years Kathy, and his two daughters, Carla (Justin) Hall and Mellie (Deric) Diaz. He is also survived by his mother, Jean Hightower, and his brother, Anthony (Lynn) Hightower, and his nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins, all of whom meant so much to him.
He is proceeded in death and reunited with his father, James Kenneth Hightower, his grandparents, Johnson (Inez) Hightower, Chester (Margaret) Brown, several precious aunts and uncles, and his mother in law, Linda.
We will miss you daily, Greg, until we meet again.
