Gregory “Greg” David Hensley Sr., 71, of Elkton, passed away March 17, 2024 after losing his battle with pulmonary fibrosis. He was born September 22, 1952 and was the son of the late Leon H. Hensley and Eula Shifflett Hensley.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by brothers, Ron Hensley and Roy Lee Hensley; a brother-in-law, Gary Shifflett and a special nephew, Stephen Thomas.

Greg dedicated his life’s work to becoming a meticulous and talented sheet metal mechanic, retiring from Fluor Daniels Services. People looked to him with help on their projects knowing he was the man to get the job done. Greg loved cars and was an avid car enthusiast as well as a motorcycle lover. He could be seen riding around in his tangerine candy apple orange 1968 Camaro with two black racing stripes. Greg was a member of East Point Independent Church in Elkton. He loved spending time with friends and was a good story teller who loved to make people laugh. He was a great “paw paw” and will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

The family would like to thank Sentara Hospice staff, Jillian, Jessica, Ericka, Cindy, Virginia, and Vicki for all the loving care they gave Greg with his battle of pulmonary fibrosis.

Surviving is his wife, Lois “Babe” J. Herring; sons, Gregory “Dooder” David Hensley Jr., Justin Scott Hensley and wife, Michele; daughter, Monica Hensley and husband, David; sisters, Doris Ann Comer and husband, Jerry and Kay Shifflett; grandchildren, Mason, Alayna, Sydney, Alexis, Jaelyn, Jace and Jaxon Hensley, Gabby German, Bryson McDaniel; special sister-in-law, Patty Hensley and his special canine companion, Isabelle.

In keeping with Greg’s wishes, there will be no services.
