Gregory Lane Stokes, age 56, passed away peacefully at his home in DeSoto, Texas, Friday, August 17, 2018. He was born in Dallas, Texas at Methodist Hospital on October 7, 1961 and lived in the Dallas area most of his life. He graduated at Kimball High School in 1980. For the last six years, he was employed by Harcros Chemical as a Chemical Transporter and he loved his job. He was most proud of his two beautiful children, Landon Lane Stokes, age 21 and Paige Megan Stokes, age 19. Landon is the Owner of Hail King Roofing and a successful model with The Campbell Agency in Dallas, New York and Milan, Italy - Greg would of course say he got his good looks from his Father. His beautiful daughter Paige just completed her Freshman year at the University of Arkansas. She is a talented Wedding Event Planner and was the apple of her Daddy’s eye. Greg was engaged to Patty Wertenberger whom has been by his side the last 10 years and who lovingly cared for him during his illness.
Greg came from a big family, had many friends and touched many lives with his quick wit and wonderful sense of humor. Greg was always artistically creative and had a passion for music. He was a loving father, companion, son, brother, uncle and dear friend to many. He went through the “Great Banquet” under the supervision of Pastor Clay Allard in 2008 and had leaned on his strong faith throughout his illness and never lost hope.
He is survived by his fiancé, Patty Wertenberger; Son, Landon Stokes; Daughter, Paige Stokes; Parents, Wayne and Judy Stokes; Grandmother, Sybil Stokes; Brother’s, Brook Stokes, Kevin Stokes and his wife, Laney Stokes; Sister’s, Holli Haddix and her husband Johnny Haddix; Amy Farrell and her husband Guy Farrell; many nieces and nephews and a host of friends dating back to childhood.
