Gregory Allen Eighmey, born on July 1, 1959, in Waterloo, Iowa, passed away unexpectedly on November 1, 2025, in Independence, Mo. He was 66 years old. Greg was a man whose vision and entrepreneurial spirit shaped not only his life but also the lives of many around him.

Above all, Greg's proudest accomplishment was his family, who were the center of his life. He valued his relationships with each one of them deeply and found joy in every moment they spent together.
