As a young child, Gregory (or Geep as his family and closest friends knew him) was baptized at St. Pius Catholic Church in Tulsa, OK.

In 2017, Gregory relocated to Shreveport, LA where he remained until his untimely passing. Throughout his life, family, friends, and all who had the fortune of meeting Gregory would describe him as funny, compassionate, hard-working, and supportive. Gregory was an avid sports fan, was very passionate about music, was a talented musician himself, and was deeply dedicated to his family and friends. He will be greatly missed and leave a legacy of laughter, love, and joy.
Gregory is survived by his fiancé, Sarah Bigham, their expected child, and the Bigham family; his parents, Marjorie Lee and Malcom Kahre, Gregory Bishop Sr., and Sharon A'Neal; his siblings, Steven and Toni Bishop, Matthew and Andria Whipple Bishop, Brogan A'Neal, Zach and Jeri Kahre, and Lauren Kahre; grandmother, Betty Music; uncles and aunts, Mike and Pam Music, Jake and Ryan Music, Michelle Music, Mike and Melody Bishop, Brad and Deana Bishop, Nancy Lammle, Jeff Bishop, and Pat and Jennifer Bishop; nephews, Cannon Bishop and Wyatt Kahre; cousins, Jennifer Bishop, Jason and Chris Hoey, Ryan, Zachary, and Andrea Lammle, Caleb and Devin Bishop, Stephen and Tyler Music, Kelsey Sodowsky, Emily Music, Jordan and Corey Peterson, Cale and Taylor Music Vang, and Noah Wright.
