Greg began this life on August 29, 1962, in Ardmore, OK, the son of Patrick Oscar and Wanda Louise (Peery) Parker. He attended school at Turner, graduating with the Class of 1980. Soon after, Greg married the love of his life, Monica Marie Montgomery, on December 26, 1981, at the home of Pat and Wanda Parker in Leon. The two spent more than 41 years together

Greg's lifelong passion was Farming and Ranching. In addition to this lifelong vocation his career endeavors began as a Dock Manager for Hayes Western Motor Freight in Ardmore. After, he worked 10 years for Uniroyal and delivered propane for Red River Propane. When he wasn't working on the ranch, you would probably find him out hunting, fishing, or enjoying his greatest pastime, watching the grandchildren play ball. Greg also spent a good deal of time hunting for and collecting arrowheads. But, no matter how busy life got, he always had time to stop and have a cup of coffee with his Horn's Corner buddies.

Greg was preceded in death by his parents Patrick Oscar and Wanda Louise Parker; grandparents, Lyndon Oscar and Juanita AnnaJane Parker and Kinchloe and Edna Peery; father-in-law, Harold Dean Montgomery; special cousin, Lisa Brook Parker; and a great-nephew Dakota Bartling.
