Gregory Foxx was born on August 18, 1950 in Washington DC to the late Percy and Florence Foxx. As a child, his family relocated to Seattle, Washington in 1954. Gregory graduated in 1968 from Garfield High School and went on to attend Seattle University, graduating in 1972, with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. In 2000, Gregory earned his Certified Public Accountant Certificate. Gregory began his professional career in banking as a teller at Seattle First National Bank later known as Bank of America. He also worked for a short time at Washington Mutual Bank, ending his career at Banner Bank as Senior Vice President, Commercial Banking Center and Manager.
In 1970 he married Peggy Williams and to this union was born one daughter,
Dana Foxx.
Gregory had four loves outside of his family. Fishing, riding his motorcycle, going to the movies and traveling. He enjoyed salmon fishing, but didn’t like salmon. On his Gold Wing motorcycle, he traveled to several Canadian Providences, San Francisco, Reno Nevada, all over Western Washington, Oregon, Florida Everglades and Florida’s Key West. Gregory loved movies. Together, we saw over 100 movies and owned hundreds of DVDs and still watched or streamed dozens of movies on television. His out of country travels included skiing in Europe, visiting Mexico, France, England, Bahamas, Cuba, going on cruises throughout the Caribbean and vacationing in over 10 states. Vacationing with daughter Dana and later grandchildren, Adrianna and Frank, was a favorite: especially visiting Disneyland and Disney World.
He leaves to mourn his wife of 50 years, his daughter Dana, and grandchildren Adrianna Kinsey and Frank Graves. Preceding him in death includes his brothers, Charles R. Foxx Sr., Percy Foxx Jr., Paul Ballard Sr., Joseph A. Foxx, Michael J. Foxx and sister, Margaret Foxx Scott.
Gregory is survived by his sister, Mary Samuel (Henry), brother-in-law George Williams Jr. (Rochelle) and sister-in-law Bonnie Williams. Gregory also leaves to cherish his memory a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and close friends.
