His children remember him as a kind, generous, and loving father who encouraged them to pursue their goals and always honor family. His parents remember him as the son who loved and cherished his mother; love and respected his father. His siblings remember him as one of the best big brother’s you could ever hope for in a lifetime. He was a joyful and dedicated individual who loved being with family and friends and who was passionate about grilling, chilling, and enjoying the shade of a good tree. Driven by is enjoyment of the company of family and friends, he never missed an opportunity to create a get-together for both. Gatherings full of fun, laughter, food, drink, reminiscing, and LOVE.

He was loved everyone he met. He will be missed by us all. But he will never be far from our hearts.

* We Love You Gregory Haygood. *

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

2 Timothy 4:7-8
