| About | Jeffrey was a Volunteer Fire Fighter with the Little Swift Creek Fire Department #14 and he attended Craven Community College. He was a member of New Haven Free Will Baptist Church. Jeffrey was an avid ECU Pirate Fan. Where ECU was, Jeffrey was. He went to every home game, and went as far as DC to the bowl game. He was best known for his shaved head and painted purple and gold body. He was featured on the front cover of Greenville Mixer in September and on this year's 2011 Fall Alumni Magazine. He will be remembered for his "live life to its fullest" personality. He was also a dedicated fireman, participating in events since he was about 12 years old. Jeffrey loved his Little Swift Creek brothers and most of all he loved his family, his bubba and he held a special place in his heart for Hayleigh and Caroline. He'd want everyone to remember the good times. Don't think about the end. This isn't the end. This is only the beginning, and he is now in a place where he would like to see all of you one day. He is survived by his parents, Jeff and Gwyn R. Grega; his brother, Jonathon Grega; maternal grandparents, Calvin and Betty Respess; paternal grandparents, Barry and Vivian Grega; maternal aunt, Sharon H. Pomeroy and husband Brian, and their children, Hayleigh and Caroline; paternal aunt, Lisa Labra and husband Fernando; cousins, Beth Nitke, Tony, Josie and Fernando Labra; and a slew of close friends and cousins. Services will be held at 11 a.m., Saturday, January 22, 2011 at West Craven High School Performing Arts Center Auditorium. Burial, with Fire Department honors will follow at Pine Tree Cemetery in Ernul. The family will receive friends from 7-9 p.m. Friday, January 21, 2011, at Cotten Funeral Home.
