Greg was born January 10, 1959, in Albany, Georgia, to the late Marvin John Gerber and Mary Sue Powers Lambert. Greg received his BS Degree from Troy University. He was employed with Georgia Pacific for the past 24 years. He spent many years volunteering for the National Peanut Festival. A big fan of Auburn football, Greg was always ready with a big “War Eagle.” When not watching Auburn football, he enjoyed working on cars. Greg was blessed with a loving family and enjoyed spending time with his grandkids and taking them fishing.

But Greg’s greatest joy came from time spent with his loving wife Kay and the rest of his family. Greg will indeed be sorely missed by all, but especially by Kay who lost her soul mate and best friend. God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you.

Along with his parents, Greg is preceded in death by his grandparents Daniel Floyd Powers and Clynora Martin Powers and Ernest and Marie Gerber.

He is survived by his wife Kay Hall Gerber of Midland City; step-dad Millard L. Lambert of Taylor; daughters Kayla Gerber Berry (Caelan) of Gallatin, TN; Brianna Gerber of Huntsville, Al; sons Brad McKnight (Sheila) of Wicksburg; Chad McKnight (Ana) of Midland City; Matt McKnight of Midland City; brothers Brett Gerber (Jan) of Dothan; Richard Gerber (Kathy) of Dothan; grandchildren Bryce McKnight, Dylan McKnight, Savannah McKnight, Kaylee McKnight, Easton McKnight, Sawyer McKnight, Leighana Lee, Liberty Fountain, Chelsea Weldon, Tyler Weldon, Isaac Berry, eight great-grandchildren, mother and father-in-law Louise and George Hall, cherished brother and sisters-in-law, aunts and uncles and many nieces, nephews and friends.
