GREGORY WADDELL

Gregory Waddell was born on February 6, 1959, to parents Wallace and Margaret Waddell. His
passing on August 5, 2025, is a tremendous loss to so many. He was a dedicated father,
grandfather, son, brother, employee, and friend. No matter how tired or busy he was, if you
needed him, He was there for you.
Greg developed a love for travel at an early age. His family moved often due to his father’s
military service. The family eventually settled in San Diego, California, where Greg spent his
formative years. His love for travel later took him to Germany, where he worked several years
on a U.S. military base. Eventually, he returned to San Diego, where he spent the last 15 years
working for MTS as a bus driver.
Greg loved biking to work, taking long hikes, and spending time with girlfriend Tammy. Most of
all, he treasured any time spent with family. Family was the most important thing to Greg. He
deeply loved his children, and anytime he received a picture or video of his grandkids, he could
not wait to share it with everyone.
Gregory is preceded by his Mother Margaret Waddell, Father Wallace Waddell and Brother
Ricky Waddell.
