Memorial services for Gregory Scott "Greg" Willis will be held at 2:00 p.m., Tuesday, January 21, 2020 at the Eastman Baptist Church in the Eastman Community of Love County, Oklahoma with Bro. Brandon Twyford officiating. Services have been entrusted to the Flanagan-Watts Funeral Home of Marietta, Oklahoma.
Greg was born November 4, 1957 in Tecumseh, MI to Dale E. and Treva (Boonstra) Willis. He passed away Wednesday, January 15, 2020 at the Mercy Health Love County Hospital in Marietta at the age of 62.
Greg attended Siena Heights University in Adrian, MI on a baseball scholarship. He later continued his education at the University of Michigan where he also developed a great love for Wolverine athletics. Greg married Merilyn Judy Hilliard on May 14, 1983 in Farmers Branch, TX. They resided in the Carrollton, TX area until they relocated to the Falconhead Resort Community nearly 5 ½ years ago. Greg worked for more than 35 years as a salesman in the HVAC industry. When he wasn't working, Greg enjoyed hunting and collecting guns. Greg was an avid motorcycle and antique tractor enthusiast and a member of the Patriot Guard Riders. He also played the guitar and wrote songs. Greg was known as a jokester amongst his friends and family as well as a devout republican and a Dallas Cowboys fan. He attended the Prestonwood Baptist Church and was a member of the American Legion while in the Dallas Metro area and attended the Eastman Baptist Church after coming to Falconhead. Greg had many hobbies and activities that he enjoyed, but perhaps the time he enjoyed most was spent with his family, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
