Gregory Allen Moon

Gregory Allen Moon passed away on January 15, 2011 at Miami Valley Hospital. Greg was born in Dayton, Ohio, on August 8, 1956. He was preceded in death by his parents, James F. and Patricia J. Moon and son, Joshua Christopher Moon.

He is survived by his wife Karen, 3 sons Justin (Lisa) Moon, Matthew (Holly Kozee), and Timothy; granchildren Dylan, Cameron and Elijah, stepchildren Andrew and Sean Green, Bradley and Angela Smith; sisters Patricia Moon Whitmore (Kenneth), Susan Moon (Tom Brown), and brother Douglas Moon (Maureen) and by many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.

Greg graduated from Corpus Christi Elementary School and St. Andrew's School (Middletown, Delaware). He was honorably discharged from the United States Navy and attended the University of Dayton. He was employed as a Systems Analyst at several area companies. He attended Queen of Apostles Church and was a member of Central Christian Church. He was an avid soccer player; played and coached the Dayton Triangles for many years. Greg sang and played guitar in several bands including the Hathaways. Greg's greatest priority was being a loving husband, father, and grandfather.

He was chivalrous, a true romantic and a gentle man. He gave his children his unwavering support in whatever they chose to do and was their biggest cheerleader. His children fondly recall the "Adventure Walks" they shared with their father. Greg had a dry sense of humor and had a knack for puns; creating special names with double meanings for restaurants, stores, celebrities, always bringing a laugh. He won people over with his smile, his dimples, and his friendly disposition. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

Funeral services will be held at 10:00 A.M. on Friday, January 21, 2011 at Newcomer Funeral Home (South Chapel) 3940 Kettering Blvd., Kettering with Rev. David Turner officiating. Interment will follow the service at Woodland Cemetery in Dayton. The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Thursday evening from 5:00 – 8:00 P.M. The family requests contributions to the Gregory A. Moon Memorial Fund for the benefit of his grandchildren (c/o any PNC Bank) in lieu of flowers.
