Tomorrow April 3, 2026 about 6pm give or take a funeral procession will leave Leesville United Pentecostal Church and proceed northbound to Hornbeck Volunteer Fire Dept where we will do his final call. If you are unable to attend the funeral and would like to show support to Greg’s friends and family please line up on the north bound side of 171. You can share your videos here on our page if you would like. Greg touched many lives in Vernon Parish! Make sure your vehicles are safely off the roadway and not blocking any driveways or roads or views of drivers entering and exiting the roadway.

39 years of service! His join date is April 2, 1987! He was one day shy of 39 years but we’re going to say 39 years of service!

It is with great sadness that I share the passing of one of our long time fire fighters of the Hornbeck Volunteer Fire Dept, Greg Lantier HB19. Greg was a great man with a servants heart. He was an active member of Hornbeck Volunteer Fire Dept. I will have exact years later today. He was also a member of the Hornbeck Town Council. Greg loved helping people. He was a pillar of the community and will forever be missed. RIP Greg we will take it from here. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Official Firefighter Final Honors will be accorded and the date and time will be posted as soon as possible.
