He was born September 28, 1958 in Barnesville, son of the late Vernon Carpenter and Letha (Kahrig) Carpenter Shipe.

A 1977 graduate of Meadowbrook High School, Greg continued his education at Zane State, earning a degree in welding. He began his career at LDM, where he dedicated thirty years of service until the company’s closing and then later retired from Champion Spark Plug.

Above all, Greg’s greatest joy was his family. His love for them—especially his grandchildren—was evident in everything he did. They were his pride and his world.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a grandson, Ryker Allen Oliver.
