Gregory Warren Hale, Sr.'s Obituary
Gregory Warren Hale, Sr. was born to the late Parree Hale in Marianna, AR on February 25, 1956. He was the eldest son to his parents, Jimmie Hale Sr. and Parree Hale. Gregory, affectionately called Greg, was committed to God at an early age and that commitment became a lifetime mission. Greg became a member of Fresh Start Church and was ordained a Pastor in 2019. He made a covenant with God in 2006, that if God would make it so that his family didn’t have to worry about finances, he’d retire and devote his time to God.
He graduated from the Lee County School System, then joined the Air Force. Greg earned a MBA and a MS in Cyber Security. He later began his career with the Department of Defense where he later retired. Greg’s background included Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, and Computer Network Operations.

To this union was born his baby girl, Ariana and his loving son, Gregory. Prior to his marriage, Greg fathered his children, Natasha Hagans and Jasmin Hale.
Greg was a kind and giving person who loved God, his family, and friends. He laid the foundation in his children to know God, and everyday he showed them how much they meant to him.
