Gregory Thomas Whitehead, 51, from Pensacola, Florida went to be with our Lord on Friday, January 27, 2017. According to his son, Thomas, Greg’s soul was as bright as a shining star. Greg was a Christian. Greg embodied the scripture of 1st Corinthians 13. Greg was kind, he was patient and always had a smile. Greg was an eternal optimist. He was known for his charms, wit and his ability for storytelling. No one will forget his infectious personality. Greg was born on April 26, 1965 in Elizabethton, Tennessee to Rebecca Jane Whitehead Willingham (Charles) and Thomas Whitehead (Connie).
