Sammy Gregory

Sammy Keith Gregory, age 63, of Clay County, Kentucky crossed over into glory on February 5th, 2026. He was born on November 19th, 1962 in London, Kentucky to Danny Lynn and Janiece Keith Gregory.

Sammy was a member of Zion Baptist Church. He retired from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet in 2018 where he faithfully served for decades. He loved the Clay County Tigers and Kentucky Wildcats. He was an avid coon hunter, fisherman and farmer and thoroughly enjoyed his weekly Marcella’s trip with his buddies. Sammy was unwavering in his character. He treated everyone with the same genuine kindness and was always the type of person who would give you the shirt off his back. He loved to cut up and would do anything to make people laugh. Above all else, he loved the Lord and had peace in his salvation through his final days.

He was preceded in death by his father Danny Lynn Gregory, his grandparents Sam and Mary Roberts Gregory and Bryan and Helen S. Keith.

He is survived by his mother, Janiece Keith Gregory, his sister Gina Prewitt (Joe), his daughters Courtney Allen (Jordan), Carrie Deaton (Caleb), and Samantha Gregory. He survived by his 7 grandchildren who were his pride and joy: Audie, Avett, Beau, Brooks, Gideon, Greyson, and Griffen. He also survived by his long-time girlfriend, Willa Dean Brown, and a host of other friends and family.
