Obituary for Gregory A. Medlock
Mr. Gregory Alan Medlock, age 52 years, of Vienna, Mo., passed away Monday, September 28, 2020 due to injuries sustained in an accident.
He was born on August 18, 1968 in Jefferson City, Mo., the son of James “J.B” and Virginia (Boyce) Medlock. As a young boy, Greg accepted Jesus as his Savior and was baptized at Concord Baptist Church.
A lifelong resident of the central Missouri area, Greg graduated from Jefferson City High School in 1986.
Greg was known as a handyman and could always be found doing odd jobs or working in construction. He will always be known for his big heart, free spirit and stubborn demeanor. He was willing to do anything he could for others.
Greg had a love for the outdoors, whether he was fishing, hunting, canoeing, or camping with family, he was at home in nature. His favorite place was being with friends and family on the Osage River where he would grill enough food to feed anyone. He was an avid sports fan, especially loved rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs and St. Louis Cardinals. Greg also had a love for animals and rescued many dogs and cats.
He was cherished by all who knew him and will be greatly missed by his loving family and friends.
