Often thought about coming to visit you just to hang out and rekindle our 40+ years of friendship. Grateful that we were able to reconnect after so many years, my friend. Just feel like we were cut from the same cloth of kindness as when we met in elementary school (Chillum Ele.). Rest peacefully, my brother. Until…..

I offer my deepest condolences to Greg's family. Although I had not seen Greg for a while, I was crushed to learn of his untimely passing. He and my son have been friends for over 30 years, and I know they were like brothers. In addition, he was a great inspiration to one of my daughters, who has dealt with many health challenges throughout her adult life. He would brighten up her day when she needed it the most.  
I had the pleasure of having Greg visit me at my home and talk about everything from politics to sports and everything in between. He is a fine example of the old saying that "only the good die young." May God continue to bless and keep you.

I'm deeply saddened by the passing of our colleague and friend, Greg Blackett. Greg was not only a dedicated and talented member of our IT team, but also a kind and thoughtful person who brought warmth and positivity to those around him.

His presence will be greatly missed, and our thoughts are with his family, friends, and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. Rest in peace, Greg—you made a lasting impact on all of us at PSG.

Can't believe my friend, my brother is gone! Greg Blackett a.k.a. G.O.B. was unashamedly himself and always a man of great character.
We met in middle school and as the years went by from high school to college, the friendship had always endured!
Playing basketball, video games (especially NBA Live) or simply hanging out - Greg's sense of humor with his laid back personality will always be remembered.
Calling him on every birthday (January 26) was always special because he would remind me that in 30 days or so (Feb. 27) I would find out how that new attained age would feel. Never will forget calling him on his birthday 01/26/2020, and both of us learning about the death of Kobe Bryant.
Rest in peace my brother, G.O.B. - memories forever!

I’m heartbroken to share that my dear friend Greg “Don Juan” has passed away unexpectedly. Greg wasn’t just the brilliant mind behind my website—he was a friend, a confidant, and someone I had the honor of knowing for over 20 years.

Our bond grew stronger with time—through countless conversations, shared laughs, and those occasional lunches when life allowed us to slow down and connect in person. He was thoughtful, kind, and always showed up with a generous spirit and a quick wit.

I’m deeply saddened by his passing. The world feels a bit dimmer without him in it. My heart goes out to his family—may God’s peace and comfort surround you now and in the days to come.

Rest in power, my friend. You will be deeply missed.
