Greg is survived by his wife, Connie Copley, of Conway; son, Eric (Amanda) Copley, of North Little Rock; daughter, Amanda (Travis) Mulhearn, of Conway; daughter, Emily Copley (Sam) Nagher, of Conway; his grandchildren, Davis and Riley Mulhearn, Jackson and Eli Copley, and Evelyn and Birdie Nagher, brother, Gary Copley, Donna, of Cookeville, TN, sister, Brenda (the late Ronald) Grubbs, of Cookeville, TN, sister, Gloria (the late Steve) Presley, of Monterey, TN, and many more nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and loved ones.

Greg was born in Dayton, Ohio, on May 3, 1955. He graduated as Mr. MHS from Monterey High School and met his wife of 48 years, Connie, at Lambuth College, where he received a bachelor's degree and was a member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. Greg worked with ABF freight, where he retired in Fort Smith after 37 years.
Greg's passions included his family, neighbors, and friends. He enjoyed playing golf and guitar, riding his motorcycle, and singing karaoke. Neighborhood kids came to ask Greg to throw the ball or see what he was working on in his garage long after his kids were grown. He was a magnet for love, friendships, and good times. He never met a stranger and felt that every single person mattered regardless of background.
Services will be held at First United Methodist Church Conway, Sunday, January 12 at 3pm. There will also be a celebration of life in Monterey, Tennessee on his 70th birthday, May 3, 2025. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Arkansas Children's Hospital.
