Gregory Stephen Crocker, 76, of Lakeland, FL sadly passed away on Tuesday, September 9th, 2025. Born in Middletown, Ohio, Gregory cherished family above all else. Whether he was putting together Halloween costumes by hand or coaching his daughter's softball teams, he found joy in every moment spent with his loved ones. A passionate Miami Dolphin and Hurricanes fan, he brought enthusiasm and heart to everything he did.
He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Patty Crocker; his parents, Tom Crocker (Orma) and Bitha Showalter (Don); his sister, Marjorie Vangrafiland (Scott); and his brother, Don Showalter.
Greg is survived by his children, Richelle Nicosia (Costanzo) and Cristina Crocker (Tralives); his grandchildren, Ashley Crocker, Aaron Williams, Alexis Crocker, Andrew Manning, Amber Manning, Darrin Manning, Anthony Manning, and great grandchildren, Ke'Andre Williams Jr. He is also survived by his sisters, Linda Estada (Delio) and Susan Bloch (Gary); his brothers, Jeff Crocker (Debbie) and Chris Showalter; and many loving nieces and nephews.
Greg's legacy lives on in the laughter, love, and memories he created with those who knew him. He will be deeply missed.
