He loved to barbecue and took great pride in it. His brisket and chicken were among his most delicious and well-loved dishes.

As a proud family man, Greg cherished spending quality time with Letty, his beloved wife of 24 years, and his sons, Greggy and Gael, who gave him so much joy. Meaningful conversations with Greggy about life, work, and trucks were moments he cherished deeply. Greg was a J.W. Nixon High School graduate and attended Laredo College. He had a gift for spelling and participated in several elementary UIL competitions. Greg devoted himself to reading the Bible and consistently engaged in sincere, meaningful conversations with God and Jesus Christ. Because of his devotion to his religious beliefs, Greg was a caring, loving man to his wife and children. Through the love and faith to his parents, Greg embraced his spiritual journey to God and Jesus Christ.

Greg was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Margarita Trevino Lerma, and now joins her in the peace of eternal rest.
