Jack was preceded in death by his wife, Carolyn Jean Johnson Gregory; his brothers, Billy Roger Gregory and Dick Gregory; and his great-grandson, Christopher Gentry.
He is survived by his son, Layne Stuart Gregory; his daughters, Kelly Talley and Shannon Barlow and her husband, Marlin Barlow; his grandchildren, Ashley Talley, Alexander Gregory, Jacob Gregory, Trey Barlow, and Joshua Gregory; and his great-grandson, Jackson Tewell.
Jack Lee Gregory will be remembered for his faith, his service, and his devotion to his family.
