Gregory Keet Fletcher

Gregory Keet Fletcher, age 65, of Spring, Texas, passed away in his home on March 26, 2024. He was born October 28, 1958, in Shreveport, Louisiana to James and Eutha Fletcher. As a child, Greg lived in Shreveport, Louisiana until the age of 13 and later moved to Houston, Texas with his family. He remained in Houston, where he began his career and eventually met his life partner, Lynette. They married in 1990 and chose to make their home in Spring, where they raised a beautiful family.

His parents, James and Eutha Fletcher, of Yukon, Oklahoma preceded Greg in death.

Greg is survived by his wife of 33 years, Lynette; his stepsons, Kyle and Kelly; his daughters, Abby and Sarah; his sister, Sharon Fletcher Grossman; his daughters-in-law, Loretta and Brittney; his soon-to-be son-in-law, Devon Ford; his grandchildren, Ashlyn and Wyatt; his nephews, Brian Gesner of Spring, Texas, and Tracy Gesner of DeQuincy, Louisiana; his furry family members, Coco, Dobby, Jemma, Jade, Luna, Mr. Meow and Ms. Brown; and several grandpups and grandkitties.

As family was a huge part of his life, Greg’s sister and Greg and Lynette’s children each have special messages and memories they have chosen to share about Greg:

His sister, Sharon Fletcher Grossman of Yukon, Oklahoma, writes… Greg’s dream was always to live on a lake and fish every day… even as a child, he would tell everyone that he wanted to be a fisherman! Greg spent most of his summers with our grandparents in Oak Grove and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, enjoying the company of his cousin, David. Oh, what those boys could find to get into! During those times, there were so many cousins staying at Grandma’s during the holidays that we would be lined up and down one end of the den on our blankets and pillows. There was never any thought about being uncomfortable while sleeping on the floor… everyone was just so excited about being together.

His stepson, Kyle Nix of Bryan, Texas, writes… first and foremost, I would like to thank Greg for sharing his life with us! He became a father and a friend to me, and for that, I will forever be grateful. The memories of him taking us fishing on his boat will never be forgotten… I still remember the excitement and the sleepless nights on the day before our trips on the water. We had so much fun, and he always had a knack for putting us on the fish! He had built-in sonar, I swear! “Hooked on a feeling” as he would say! Greg thought he was funny, like he got jokes, even though he would be the only one laughing. Oh and “hankering…” what a great word he taught us all. Because when he had a hankering, we knew what we were having for dinner that night! He taught me a lot of things actually. He taught me about respect, commitment, and how to be a man. But above all, he taught me how to dog talk… his grandpup, as he would say, loved him for it! Greg was a great man, a true family man, and a devoted husband. He was a force to be sure! Greg will be missed and never forgotten. He will live on through all the lives and hearts he has touched… so this isn’t really goodbye, as he became a part of us forever. There’s so much more that could be said but in our hearts we all already know. P.S. Maybe Kelly and I can get our Nintendo back that he confiscated 30 years ago!

His stepson, Kelly Nix of Spring, Texas, writes… Greg was one of the strongest men that I have ever known. I cannot explain how many times I’ve tried to arm wrestle him or beat him in a foot race and, somehow, he always managed to beat me. When I was young, he was definitely one of my biggest fans at my baseball games. When I would hit a home run, I looked over and I’m pretty sure he was the only one jumping up and down screaming… louder than anybody else of course. I loved our fishing trips to Sam Rayburn, Fayetteville, Conroe, anywhere… it did not matter what lake we went to, there was never a time that we caught zero fish. We always put so many fish in the boat and had a ton of good memories. The impact and the drive that you have given me in my life is unmatched. We rarely saw eye to eye on a lot of things, but I know now what I did not know then…it was to turn me into the best version of myself that I would never have known without you in my life. So… thank you, not for being my stepdad but, for being my dad, who stepped up and helped me since I was a two-year-old little boy. And I promise you this is not the end but the beginning…of our next chapter. I am forever grateful to have had you in my life. You will be truly missed but never forgotten. Thank you for everything, Dad (AKA Big Daddy).

His daughter, Abby Fletcher of Spring, Texas, writes… Talking about past events about Dad can come easy, like recalling a concert or telling someone a story about him. However, summarizing someone that was a part of your entire life is so much harder. Dad was so much more than a memory, so much more than any sum of words can articulate. He was our world. He was able to do so much for us not only in his kind or thoughtful acts, but in the lifelong teachings and memories he gave us as well. Now every time I blink, a memory of us flashes by… watching the sunrise at the lake house coffee in hand; fishing all day, us knowing it would never get old; screaming our lungs out at a concert; reading competitions…all these memories and so many more are all around. For now, these memories feel so cold, so distant in their newfound rarity, but moving forward these memories and teachings he gave us will pave the way we live for the rest of our lives. The light he gave us will shine so much brighter now. Every story we read, every joke we tell, every drink we toast, he will be there…keeping us strong, keeping us warm, helping us truly live. In moments like these, he would clear his throat and tell us to have a drink and move on tomorrow. And although we may not succeed at that wish, soon we will live on with his memory in all of our happiness, our laughter, and our success. He may be gone, but he is with us always…and he won’t take no for an answer on that.

His daughter, Sarah Fletcher of Spring, Texas, writes… when I think about my dad, the first thing I think of is how much he got me to love and appreciate music. He shared so much of this passion with me and it is now a huge part of my life. His own band, his music collection, his guitars…I feel like all of this was such a big part of his life. He loved music and was so passionate about it and he always shared that with anyone who would listen.
