Gregory Robert West, 71, passed away on September 16, 2021, at St. Luke's Hospital in Houston, TX. He was born to Charlotte Frances Thompson and Arch Clark West in White Plains, NY, on January 24, 1950. The family moved to Dallas where his father was a marketing executive with Frito-Lay. Arch West is credited with creating the Dorito corn chip for Frito-Lay.

Greg attended St. Mark's School of Texas in Dallas but later attended and graduated from San Marcos Baptist Academy in San Marcos, Texas. From there he moved to Austin to attend University of Texas at Austin and later University of Texas in Arlington, where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration. He and Ann Brasher were married on July 7, 1973, in Weimar. After marriage, he attended graduate school at UT-Austin where he received his MBA.

His first job was with Scientific Placement in Houston. He continued his human resources career at other companies but finally working in human resources for Mobil in Dallas, New Jersey, New York, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Venezuela, Beaumont, and The Woodlands, and for ExxonMobil in Houston after the two oil companies merged. After retiring from ExxonMobil, he and his wife, Ann, moved to Columbus, Texas, near where Ann grew up.

Greg was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his wife, Ann Brasher West of Columbus, and four children and their families: Laura Elizabeth West Dobbs (Hansel) of Allen, Sarah Frances West Green (Ben) of Austin, Katherine Ann West Wade (Dustin) of Spring, and Jonathan Brasher West of Columbus. He is survived by grandchildren Carson Gregory Dobbs, Owen Wallace Dobbs, Nathan West Dobbs, Alexander Lee Wade, Sydney Caroline Wade, and Vivienne Violet Wade. He is also survived by his siblings Jack Clark West (Paula) of New Milford, CT; Richard Allen West (Deneen) of Las Vegas, NV; and Jana Lee West Hacker (Gary) of Lubbock, TX.

Greg was a warm, funny, and Godly man. He will be missed by his wife, children, siblings, and even all his in-laws. To his wife, he was love, care, and a traveling companion. To his children, he was wise counsel and Dad. To many of his nephews and nieces, he was the favorite uncle, the fun uncle, but also the uncle they could go to for counseling when needed. He leaves behind fond memories of camphouse adventures, family Christmases, and just joking around. Godspeed, Greg.

Funeral arrangements are through Henneke Funeral Home in Columbus, Texas. Greg's cremated remains will be buried in Weimar at the Oddfellows Cemetery at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the charity of your choice in Greg's name.
