People who came out to the event brought blue balloons and signs expressing love for Gregg. Photographs of Gregg were placed on the window of the bar, many showing him with a young boy.
“I’m gonna miss him,” said Kristina Gardiner, the mother of Gregg’s child. “My son is going to miss him.”
As they remembered Gregg everyone in attendance also made sure to support one another.
“This is hard but I am glad a lot of people showed up to give their respects to my nephew,” said Gregg’s aunt Denice Shuford.
Shuford led a prayer before balloons were released and stressed the importance of the event.
“We know that it is time for us all to get together,” said Shuford.
An arrest warrant for Daryl Truley Jr. was issued on Wednesday as a suspect in Gregg’s death.
Truly Jr. faces charges of criminal homicide, aggravated and simple assault and multiple gun-related charges.
