Greg was a man defined by his caring heart, unwavering dedication and selfless spirit. Outgoing and full of life, he was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.

Greg leaves to cherish his memory his sister, Leisa Trapp of North Vernon, Indiana; his great-nephew, Donny (Madison) Grigsby Jr. of Columbus, Indiana; and his beloved great-great-nieces and nephews, Emberleigh, Emmanuel and El’ani Grigsby.

He was preceded in death by his father, Thomas Golden; his mother, Barbara Golden; and his nephew, Donny Grigsby Sr.

Greg will be remembered for his kind soul, strong faith and the love he gave so freely. His legacy lives on in the hearts of his family and all who were blessed to know him.

“May God always grant you always…
A sunbeam to warm you, a moonbeam to charm you,
A sheltering Angel so nothing can harm you.
Laughter to cheer you. Faithful friends near you.
And whenever you pray, Heaven to hear you.”
