Parker Memorial minister Stone dies
Charles Gregory “Greg” Stone, minister to senior adults and director of operations for Parker Memorial Baptist Church, Anniston, died Dec. 12. He was 55.
Before joining the staff of Parker Memorial in 2013, he served as minister of music/church administrator at Valley View Baptist Church, Tuscaloosa.
While studying at Auburn University, Stone played Aubie the Tiger, the school’s mascot, in 1983.
Mack Amis, pastor of Parker Memorial, said Stone was “one of God’s choicest servants.”
“He gave of himself and shared his gifts tirelessly,” Amis said. “Greg never settled for mediocre but pursued excellence in everything because his God was worth it. His ability to minister to all ages was a unique gift and assures that everyone will miss him.”
Roger Willmore, director of missions for Calhoun Baptist Association, said that until the end of his life, Stone was doing what he felt called to do.
“Greg Stone loved people and he loved serving people,” Willmore said.
He is survived by his wife, Deana; daughters, Sydni, Kendall and Chloe; son, Drew; and three grandchildren. (Grace Thornton)
