Gregory Joseph Roebuck, 49, of Winnsboro, Texas, died May 19, 2025. He was born January 1, 1976, in Dallas, Texas, to Nan Ellison Roebuck and the late Gerald Roebuck.

Greg moved with his family to Winnsboro in 1983. He was a typical boy; fishing, exploring in the woods, getting dirty and playing baseball. His dad coached him and his friends in Little League Baseball for several years. He continued playing baseball for Winnsboro High School, where he was a member of the class of 1994. His favorite days of high school were spent behind the plate, catching for the Raiders Baseball team all 4 years.

Over the next several years, Greg worked a variety of trades, travelling to California, Florida and Arizona, before finally returning to Winnsboro. He was most recently a cook at Jamie’s Restaurant at Lake Fork. He made a mean burger and was loved by his co-workers and boss. He was the boss’ right hand man and could fix anything.

Outside of work, Greg enjoyed the simple things; fishing, playing board games, making people laugh, reading anything about history, watching Antiques Road Show and watching or collecting anything Dallas Cowboys. Most of all, he liked just sitting outside in the quiet with his dog, Dolly.

Greg was a simple, laid-back guy with a sweet smile and kind heart. He was a jokester with a contagious laugh. He loved animals and had a special place in his heart for his past dog, Emmett. He also could never turn away a stray dog or cat and brought several home through the years! He was also an avid music lover. He loved his music!!
