Greg was a cherished son, brother, and friend who touched the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him. His warmth, kindness, and infectious laughter illuminated every room he entered, creating a lasting impact on those fortunate enough to share in his company. Family meant everything to Greg. His devotion to his loved ones was evident in the countless cherished moments he shared with sister, parents, nephews, and extended family. On Thursday, November 16, 2023, a week before his 40th birthday, his Maker saw that he was tired and weary and called him home. He sent an angel to tell Boo to come on home and take his rest. Boo leaves to cherish his memory, his mother Eva (Miller) Corbett and Gregory (Gloria) Pegues Sr. ; sister, Unikka Pegues McCaster, whom he affectionately called "Big Sis"; grandmother, Eva Ambrose; nephews, Marcus McCaster Jr. and Thomas McCaster.

His Grandparents, James Russell Adair, Thelma Pegues Shepard, Eddie B. Ambrose, and a close Uncle Carl (Ruby) Ambrose, all proceeded him in death. In addition to his immediate family, Greg formed deep and lasting connections with friends who became like family. His loyalty and camaraderie enriched the lives of all who were fortunate enough to call him a friend. As we mourn the loss of Greg, let us remember and celebrate the beautiful soul he was. In our grief, let us find solace in the memories we shared, the laughter that echoed through the years, and the love that will endure beyond the limits of time.
