Gregory “Greg” Alan Frick, 57, passed away unexpectedly, November 18, 2024. He was born April 17, 1967, in Hart, the son of Jerry and Verla (Draggoo) Frick.

Greg was a man whose family always came first. Whether it was fixing something around the house or simply being there when they needed him, caring for his loved ones was his number one priority. His deep love for his niece and nephews was especially evident—he would travel far and wide, dropping everything to help and support them.

Greg’s generosity didn’t stop with his family. His heart extended to the entire community and farther. As the Walkerville Fire Chief, he worked tirelessly with fire and rescue teams, and served as an EMT, always ready to lend a hand whenever he was needed. Greg also devoted time to mission trips, where he helped repair homes and support communities who had gone through natural disasters. His willingness to serve and make a difference was a testament to his big heart.

Growing up in the family business, Walkerville Well Drilling, Greg practically learned the ropes before he could even walk. After graduating from GVSU, he proudly joined the business full-time, becoming the fourth generation to carry on his family's legacy—an accomplishment that filled him with immense pride.

Greg is survived by his parents, Jerry and Verla (Draggoo) Frick; sister, Angela (Mike) Slowik; niece, Kaylee (Frank) Acosta; nephews, Kevin (Allyson) Slowik, and Nathan Slowik; and many other extended family members.

Greg was preceded in death by: his paternal grandparents, Lyle and Leona Frick; and his maternal grandparents, Myrl and Lucile Draggoo.

In accordance with Greg’s wishes, cremation has taken place, and a visitation will be held from 2pm – 4pm, on Sunday, December 8, 2024, at the Walkerville United Methodist Church, 189 E Main St., Walkerville, MI 49459.
