Gregory Jesse Copenhaver
December 3, 1957 — December 11, 2017
Gregory "Greg" J. Copenhaver, 60, of Bates City Missouri, passed away on Monday, December 11, 2017. He was born the third child of five to Bruce and Delores (Bowman) Copenhaver on December 3, 1957 in Kansas City Missouri.
Early on in life he worked at GM on the assembly line. Later in life he was a truck driver by trade and a patriot at heart. He had a passion for God, his family and friends (of which there were many), and his country which he showed even to the end. He enjoyed spending time with his sisters, children, numerous grandchildren, and great grandchildren as well as being an active member of his church, and friend to anyone in need of one. He had 2 Australian Shepherds, Teko & Tara, that were precious to him. He also had many nieces and nephews which he adored.
He is survived by his wife, Penny Copenhaver, sisters Gayle Tustison and Gloria Copenhaver, his brother Fred Copenhaver, 8 children, sons Micheal and wife Emma Copenhaver, Edward Raney and partner Felicia Kidd, Daniel and wife Laura Raney, Gregory (LG) and wife Victoria Copenhaver, and daughters Jenny Copenhaver, Rachel Raney, Clarrissa and husband Dustin Coles, and Amanda Copenhaver. He is also survived by a plethora of grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren, and more friends than can be counted in a lifetime. He was preceded in death by both of his parents, his sister Gina Overman, his brother Gary Copenhaver, and his nephew Aaron Overman.
Funeral Services will be held at First Baptist Church of Bates City, located at 200 E. Z Highway, Bates City, Missouri, on Friday, December 15, 2017 at 11:00 AM.
