With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Glenn Gregory (Greg) Simmons, who left this world on Saturday morning, September 7, 2024, at his home in the comforting presence of his beloved family after a brief illness.

Born on September 2, 1970, in Milledgeville, Georgia, Greg was the son of the late Bobby Lee Purser and Carolyn Purser. Throughout his life, Greg exemplified a spirit of unwavering dedication and love.

His love extended beyond his immediate family, touching the lives of his siblings and their families, with whom he shared many cherished memories.
An avid traveler, Greg had a special place in his heart for vacations, with Universal Studios holding a particularly fond spot in his memories. His love for adventure was matched only by his faith in Jesus, which provided him with strength and comfort throughout his life.
