On the morning of June 9, 2020, Dea. Gregory T. Hagins of Savannah, GA left for his heavenly home.  He slipped away quietly and peacefully during the early morning hours at the age of 62. Greg was born to the late Dea. Frank & Charlie Mae Hagins in February 1958. He received his education in the Chatham County Public Schools, having attended Butler Elem. and graduated from Richard Arnold High School Class of 1976.

He went on to serve in the U.S. Army as a Transportation Specialist and received an Honorable Discharge in 1982.  Greg epitomized the entrepreneurial spirt and was an ambitious businessman. He was fearless when it came to new challenges.  Greg was an avid reader, and though he attended business school after his military service, he was self-taught in many ways.  Though he was large in stature, he had a gentleness about him.  He was loving, giving and fiercely protective of his family.  He also cared about his community. Greg had many principles by which he lived.  One in particular was “I can live better with my decisions than I can with yours”. Greg gave his life to Christ early in his journey and was a firm believer in God. When asked what would he say to others on the subject of the bible, his response was simple … “God is Good”!
