Mr. Greg E Slack Sr.

Gregory Edward Slack Sr., 62, went to be with Jesus on November 2, 2017 in his home after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born in Knoxville, TN on November 13, 1955. His faith was evident as he walked each day of his journey relying on the strength and provision of his Lord - trusting in His plan. Greg is remembered for the love and joy he found in his family and friends. He was honored to be a grandfather. He was known for his hospitality and his constant caring for the needs of others. He is preceded in death by his wife, Phyllis Ray Harkins Slack; father and mother, Thomas Joseph Slack, Sr. and Dorothy Foster Slack; mother in law, Christine Faye Wilson Smith; step-father in law, Albert W. Smith; granddaughter, Lylie Tatum Budd; brother in law, Bill Smith.

Greg worked in construction and when he was not on the job site, you could find him on the farm. He loved his horses and his Ford Jubilee! I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7.
