Greggory Hathcock Obituary (1970 - 2025)

The world has lost a remarkable soul in Greggory Dewayne Hathcock, who was called to his eternal rest on May 13, 2025. Born in Oklahoma City on June 13, 1970, Greggory, known affectionately as "Cowboy" to his loved ones, crafted a life characterized by love, laughter, and an unwavering dedication to his family and work. A proud resident of Amarillo, Texas, his life was a testament to his strong values and robust spirit that touched everyone he met. As said in the book of Matthew, "Well done, good and faithful servant...enter into the joy of your master" (Matthew 25:21). True to these words, Gregg lived his life as a faithful servant, not only to his work but to his family and community. Gregg was an accomplished engineer at Union Pacific Railroad, where he served with distinction for over 20 years. His work was more than just an occupation, it was a passion. He had a unique ability to form deep, meaningful bonds with his colleagues, transforming them into his extended family. Gregg's dedication, resilience, and commitment to his work were recognized with a 20 Years Service award from the Railroad. His gentle spirit, sharp mind, and kind heart left an indelible mark on the hearts of all those he worked with. Beyond his professional achievements, Gregg's proudest moments were spent with his family. He was a devoted father to his daughters, Autumn Mae Hathcock and Taylor Ann Hathcock, who survive him. He is also survived by his brothers, Thomas Sturgill and Frank Hughes; his sister, Kristi Erwin; his mother, Patricia Hathcock; and his wife and the loving mother of his children, Leslie Hathcock. He was preceded in death by his father, William Kenneth Hathcock; his brothers, Jeffery Hathcock and Jesse Sturgill. Gregg will be remembered for his infectious laughter, his love for a cold beer, good sports game, and his knack for grilling the perfect steak. He had an extraordinary ability to make every encounter a warm and friendly one, be it with a lifelong friend or the clerk at the gas station. His life will be celebrated on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at 7:00 PM during the Sod Poodles game at Hodgetown Stadium in Amarillo.
