Gregory Steven Smith

Greg was born October 20, 1957, in Urbana, Ohio to Leonard L. Smith and Janice J. Smith. Greg graduated from West Liberty-Salem High School in 1976. Following high school, he enlisted in the United States Navy on November 3, 1976, until March 20, 1982. He honorably served our country including the reserves. During his time in the US Navy, he met the love of his life, Deborah L. Robert. They tied the knot on April 9, 1990, and were inseparable till Debbie's passing in 2023. Greg always stayed busy and spent a lot of time with those he loved. He was an avid member of the American Legion Post 521, Pasadena, Texas. Wherever there was a grill there was Greg; he was honored to bring the community together with great food. When he wasn't serving the community, he was up on the stage singing his favorite karaoke songs. To those who knew him he was "Hippy Greg" on the stage and would give a performance of a lifetime. His love of music was endless but without a doubt he always singing to his favorite artists; Lynard Skynyrd, Neil Young, Pink Floyd, and BTO just to name a few.

Greg loved woodworking projects including refinishing furniture. He also assembled beautiful wind chimes using different materials that he would find and friends would give to him. Sitting on his back patio and listening to all the wind chimes is very soothing. He has given many of them as gifts. He had many stories about where different materials came from.
