March 25, 2023 after a long battle with cancer.
Greg was born and raised in Washington, DC. He graduated from Sidwell Friends School.
In 1986 Greg welcomed his first child with Elyse Hornebck, Joel, and they married. In 1987 they
welcomed their second child Rachel.
Greg was an enthusiastic member of his Baptist church. He overcame his own addiction and used this to
help others similarly affected by their struggles when he found his late in life passion in becoming a
recovery counselor.
Greg valued his lifelong friendships and the value they brought to his life. He adored hearing the
voices of his children and grandchildren and getting cross country updates about their activities.
Gregory is survived by, his son, Joel Hornbeck and daughter Rachel Stowell (Greg), Grandchildren (His
snickerdoodles) Evalyn, Eleanor and Winston, brother Karl, nephews, Brian Christian and Jeron
Newman, close friends Anne Meissner and Shelly Klipp, as well as numerous cousins relatives and
friends. His parents, brother Reggie and sister Brenda preceded him in death.
The family is asking for donations to First Baptist Church of Canoga Park in his memory.
