Gregory Baxter Clary (Greg) passed away at home on November 12, 2018 at the age of 67. He was born on October 7, 1951 and grew up in Savannah, Georgia but lived & worked almost half of a century in Florida.

Greg first and foremost loved his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and was a faithful member of Westside Baptist Church.  We know and believe “His LORD said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy LORD.”  Matthew 25:23

Greg worked as a professional land surveyor and was an avid bow hunter and sportsman.  He founded the firm Clary and Associates Surveying & Mapping in 1983.  He served on many local & state boards.  He will be remembered as a pillar of his community, respected professionally and was looked to as a godly man with wise counsel.  He was known for his selfless gift of time and generous giving.  He was loved by too many to count.
