Ollie Taylor, Rev. Nicky Willmon and Rev. Alton Willmon officiating. Burial followed in Gunter Mountain Memory Gardens.

Greg began his walk with the Lord in Huntsville 32 years ago. Oak Grove Holiness Church was his home and sanctuary for over 31 years. He loved and was blessed to be loved by the members of not only Oak Grove but so many members of the many churches he loved to visit.

Greg will be greatly missed by many. When someone in his family needed help, he was often the first person they would call, and he never turned down the opportunity to help them in any way he could. He loved his friends and his church family deeply, taking comfort in knowing how much they loved him. Greg’s career with Leidos, SAIC and other contractors in support of SMDC and NASA afforded him lifelong friendships for which he was so grateful. He enjoyed traveling and watching Alabama football with his dad. Aside from serving the Lord, he was never more at peace than when sitting on his back porch with Diane and Blake, with his precious baby girls in his lap. He was deeply loved and will be missed every single day until we meet him again.

He is survived by his wife, Diane Guffey; son, Gregory Guffey; grand furbaby, Penny; father, James Guffey; sister, Marilyn (Tim) Turner; very special aunt, Willene Duvall; in-laws, Joe and Dollie Lawrence; brother-in-law, Carl (Heatherly) Lawrence; nieces and nephews, Matthew (Liz) Turner, Meghan (Rick) Mosley, Jessie (Doug) Lawrence, Joey Lawrence, Jake (Jacie) Lawrence, Logan Stines, Emily Stines; cousins, Jeri (Mike) Brown, Cindy (Lance) Meeks, Brad (Ann Marie) Duvall, Jan (Dennis) Johnson, Kay (John) Howard; friends like brothers, Benji Willmon, Nicky Willmon, Perry Stapler, Tim Byrum, Freddy Killen and the late Jamey Atchley.
