Racine – David W. Gregory, 68, passed away unexpectedly at his home on Saturday, February 23, 2019 with his family at his side.
He was born in Racine, WI, on July 25, 1950, son of the late Harold and Helen (nee Fojtik) Gregory. He is survived by his wife, Debra (nee: Kirner) Gregory; as well as, by his wonderful children, Kenny (Jessica), daughter Katie (A.J.) Pettis, and daughter Krista (Adam) Meulemans. He will be greatly missed by his grandchildren and best little buddies Grant, Owen and Brennan. He is also survived by his sisters Barbara (Floyd) Benson and Darlene (Charles) Taylor; as well as his mother-in-law Dorothy Kirner, Kirner in-laws, and many nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his father-in-law Leonard Kirner.
He followed in his Grandfather and Father’s footsteps as a Steamfitter and part of Local Union 118. Before retiring, he worked for Racine Unified School District as a Maintenance Engineer. David was an avid hunter and fisherman enjoying the outdoors. He enjoyed his later years spending his time with his grandchildren, known as his “little buddies”, whom his world revolved around.
The family would like to extend their appreciation to family and friends for all their love and support to Dave. Special thanks to friends Charlie Puder, Scott Hughes and Tom Pallesen for their extra care and aid they provided in his later years.

J. Flowers says
Dear family and friends, I’m very sorry for your loss. Many of us have experienced the death of a loved one. But there is hope at John 5:28, 29 where it says that those in the memorial tombs will hear Jesus’ voice and come out. Yes, in the near future we will see our loved ones again resurrected back to life in perfect health here on earth. I hope this scripture brings you comfort.
Laurette, WDL says

Lots of fond memories when we were kids,
Grew apart as we got older but managed to stay in touch.
Was surprised when receiving the call of David’s passing!
To his and daughter and grand kids it will be up to you to keep his memory alive!
You will be missed!
May you rest in peace!
