GREGORY ALLAN WOOD
Gregory
Allan Wood went home to be with his Lord and Savior on February 19,
2024, at the age of 65, surrounded by his family following a brief
illness.
Born and raised in Farmers Branch, TX, Greg was the eldest son of Barney
and Barbara Wood. He accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior early
in life, attending Royal Haven Baptist Church before graduating from R.
L. Turner High School in 1976.
Greg met the love of his life, Sheri, at First Baptist Church
Carrollton, and the two were married in 1982. Greg proudly worked with
FBCC High School Student Ministry, Bible Drill, and 2/3 year-old
preschool ministry and went on numerous mission trips with the Living
Proof Choir. Greg also volunteered in the kitchen at church to prepare
Wednesday Night meals and prayed every Thursday for 25 years with fellow
prayer warriors Darryl and Harrel.
People like to describe Greg by saying he never met a stranger, but he
did. He met strangers at work, at appointments, at church, and at his
grandchildren’s sporting events—they just never stayed strangers for
long. Greg welcomed everyone he met with the love of Christ, and though
his sense of humor could draw a crowd, Greg was never one for the
spotlight. He much preferred to highlight the accomplishments of others.
Greg worked at KGM in Tulsa for the last 12 years and truly loved his
KGM coworkers like family. He was an amazing communicator and used those
skills to grow the business he so loved. Greg always said God saved his
favorite job for last, and you could take that two ways. He loved KGM,
and he also loved being a “Pops” to his grand-kids. But, again, that’s
just yet another example of how Greg made everyone around him feel
special.
Greg was an official caregiver for both his parents and his wife in
later years, but no agency or title made Greg care about everyone around
him—God did, and what a blessing that has been for all of us who knew
him.
Greg is survived by his loving wife of 42 years, Sheri; his amazing
children, Aaron Wood and wife, Mindi; Julie Wood Fikac and husband,
Jeremy; Morgan Wood May and husband, Marshall. Greg was so pleased to
tell everyone he met about his seven amazing grandchildren: Rhyli,
Maddox, and Deacon Wood; Emerson, Anderson, and Hudson Fikac; and sweet
Amelia May. Greg also leaves behind siblings Keith Wood, Cindy Miller,
and Paul Wood, as well as several treasured nieces, nephews, and
friends. |
