Gregory Hugh King Jr. born November 26, 1985 in Duluth, GA to Karen and Greg King Sr. and an older sister Monica King. Gregory was one of a kind. He's the little blonde haired boy with the cutest crooked smile you would ever see. Gregory grew up in the Buford ,Gainesville area then in the Lawrenceville, Statham area. He played recreational baseball for the Cubs and Rockies, football for the Dacula Falcons, and basketball. Gregory would have helped anyone he could no matter what the cost. Gregory is the best brother anyone could ever ask for. Gregory has had many hard times in his life but somewhere and somehow he always found the strength and will to get through everything. He was one of the strongest if not the strongest person I ever knew. Gregory would be there for anyone who needed him. Gregory taught me to live everyday to it's absolute fullest because you never know. Gregory would always say "You have to take chances." If you knew Gregory you should know that he took his chances and he was happy. He would have said don't have regrets because at one time that's what you wanted. Sunday March 2, 2008 around 10:00pm Gregory was in a car accident that took his life. He was taken into Heaven by an Angel with his Mamaw and Papa King. He is in a better place now with no worries, no fears, and no sorrows. His hard life is over and now he is at Peace. Gregory is survived by a large family, his parents Greg Sr. of Gainesville and Karen Johnson of Statham. A sister Monica Miller, a brother-n-law Chris Miller of Statham and 2 nephews Ashton King and Joseph Miller and 1 niese Amberly Miller of Statham. He has 2 twin brothers Natahan and Johnathan Stewart of Statham, Grandparents Doris and Leroy Martin of Statham and many Aunts, Uncles, and cousins that miss him very much. Sorry I can't name them all but they all loved and cared for him dearly. We can all close our eyes and see his crooked little smile and hear his voice everyday. Remember he is always watching over each and everyone of us. Gregory has many friends that will miss him dearly and he will NEVER be forgotten. WE LOVE YOU GREGORY.
A thousand times we needed you a thousand times we cried, if love alone could have saved you .. you never would have died .. a heart of gold stopped beating two twinkling eyes closed to rest ... God broke our hearts to prove he only took the best ... always remember that even though u can't just reach out and touch Gregory doesn't mean he isn't here ... he will always be with us holding our hands and leading us through life ... he's living his life through our hearts and he's in a better place and he's happy now ...
Broken Dreams
As children bring their broken toys
With tears for us to mend.
I brought my broken dreams to God
Because he was my friend.
But then instead of leaving him
In peace to work alone,
I hung around and tried to help
With ways that were my own.
At last, I snatched them back
And cried, how can you be so slow?
“My child, “ he said, “What could I do?
You never did let go.”
Let Go and Let God!
