Mr. Gregory Johnson, 57 of Charlotte, NC departed this life on Sunday, May 7, 2023, at his residence.

Gregory C. Johnson passed away peacefully on Sunday morning, May 7, 2023, at his home in Concord, NC.  He was 57 years old.  He was born on June 21, 1965, son of Judith L. Johnson and the late Ronald M. Johnson.

Greg was educated in Hempstead Public Schools and Nassau Lutheran School in Mineola, NY.  In 1983, he graduated from Long Island Lutheran High School in Brookville, NY.  He then earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Manhattanville College in Purchase, NY.  He began his working career as a substitute teacher at Hempstead High School in New York.  He then worked with Allstate Insurance in Melville, NY, followed by a banking and finance career at Chase Bank, First Card Company, and First Data Company.

In November 2013, Greg relocated to Concord, NC with his family.  In Concord, he worked most recently with Polymershapes where he earned the respect and admiration of his colleagues.

He was married to the love of his life, Deidre Reed Johnson in 1994.  Their relationship was one based on love, friendship, laughter, honor and respect.  Together they had two children, son Cayman Clarke Johnson and daughter, Milan Alexes Johnson.

Greg enjoyed music and sports.  He played and excelled in basketball in elementary, high school and college.  He enjoyed watching professional basketball, especially the Chicago Bulls and Golden State Warriors.
