Gregory Salmon Obituary

Gregory Salmon ARLINGTON, TX - Gregory Stephen Salmon, 64, of Arlington, TX, departed this life on April 2, 2025. He was born in Greenville, NC, to Roy W Salmon and Sandra M Salmon and was big brother to Ashley, Lisa and Eric. He was married to the girl of his dreams, Karen Howie Salmon, for 43 years and together they had four children: Kate, Grace, Heather, and Chris, and five wonderful grandchildren. Greg was a lover of all genre of music with a particular love for the band KISS. He was able to take Karen, all his children, and several grandchildren to experience their live shows. Greg really wanted his ashes to be shot out of a cannon at one of their concerts! He could rock with the best of them! Throughout the years Greg and Karen enjoyed numerous cruises and vacations in Hawaii, England, Ireland, Scotland, Switzerland and Spain. For years they also became 'playtrons', dressing up in costume, at various Renaissance Festivals throughout Texas. Greg also loved going to grandkids' events (making sure to wear the appropriate team colors), reading, cooking and outdoing himself yearly decorating for every holiday. He was a cherished husband, father, and GrandDude and will be missed by all!
