Johnny Patrick Gregory passed away peacefully on February 12, 2019 in Conroe, Texas at the age of 87. He was born on January 30, 1932 in New Waverly, Texas to John and Sadie Mae Gregory. As a boy he lived and worked on the family farm with his parents and two sisters, Gloria and Grace. Johnny graduated from New Waverly High School in 1950, where he was a star athlete.

After returning from the service, he returned home and married his sweetheart and wife Norma Dell Gregory from Conroe, Texas. Johnny and Norma had two children, John and Andrea. Johnny worked for Bama Jelly/ Borden for 32 years. After Bama he began ranching and farming full time until the day he passed away. He spent his days working his cattle and baling hay. When hay season was over he headed to the woods to go deer hunting. Johnny’s passion was his family, cattle, hay, hunting, and fishing, hanging out daily at Rancher’s Supply, and following the New Waverly Bulldogs, being one of the oldest loyal fans. He was a very loyal hard worker with no quit in him. Johnny wore his overalls and pulled himself up into his tractor daily to work his land and cattle until the day the good Lord called him home.
