Gregory "Greg" Lee Ivey Sr.

Waynesboro, GA – Gregory “Greg” Lee Ivey, Sr, 60, entered into rest on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, at Carlyle Senior Care of Aiken, where they cared for him with love and compassion. A memorial service will be held from the First Presbyterian Church of Waynesboro, 810 Myrick St., Waynesboro, GA, on Saturday, May 25, 2024, at 12:00 P.M. with the Reverend Eric Anthony Schievenin officiating. The family will receive friends at the church prior to the service. Mr. Ivey is survived by his children, Gregory Lee Ivey, Jr and Laura Ashley Ivey West; his sister, Kathy Ivey Adams; and his grandchildren, Landon Cole West, Karmen Elizabeth West, Hayden Grace Ivey, and Clayton Lee Ivey. Greg also loved Destiny Harrison, Chelsea Harrison and Angel Harrison who entered his life by marriage. Ashley Brinson also claimed a special place in Greg’s heart, and he often remarked upon her being a great mother to his grandson Clayton and the girls. He was blessed to have cousins and dear friends he claimed as “family” who expressed their love and support during the final months of his life for which he was very grateful. Greg, a native and lifelong resident of the Augusta area, was the son of the late James “Jim” Albert and Mozelle Clayton Ivey. He graduated from Midland Valley High School where he played football and went on to attend USC Aiken before he began his career as a millwright. As a millwright he worked for The Bechtel Corporation and for Georgia Power Construction. He loved the Lord, his grandchildren, who were the light of his life, and the outdoors where he enjoyed fishing, and hunting. He found peace in searching for arrowheads and Indian memorabilia which lead him to discover the 27th meteorite ever found in GA, near Keysville. He was a Christian who had attended Baptist Churches as a young man but found his solace with the Lord in the outdoors and in being with his family. If desired, the family request memorials be made for Greg’s grandchildren college fund through First Presbyterian Church of Waynesboro, 810 Myrick Street, Waynesboro, GA 30830.
