Gregory John Gallagher, 29, born Aug. 23, 1983, passed May 2, 2013, due to injuries sustained after being struck by a car. From West Milford, N.J., he resided in Inverness, Fla., since 2002.

Gregory was a line cook and worked as a laborer in landscaping and stucco fields. Greg had a huge interest in sports. His favorites were the N.Y. Yankees baseball and N.Y. Giants football. He was an alumni of Phoenix Drum & Bugle Corps (Lakewood, N.J.) and The Magic Drum & Bugle Corps (Orlando, Fla.). He was a 2002 graduate of West Milford Township High School in West Milford, N.J.

He is survived by his mother, Charlene Iannaci (nee: Gallagher); and a sister, Dorothy Iannaci of Inverness, Fla.; maternal grandfather, John Gallagher, of West Milford, N.J.; maternal aunts and uncles John Gallagher of West Milford, N.J., Greg and Chris Gallagher of Greenwood Lake, N.Y., and Tony and Tracey Galluzzo of Hamburg, N.J.; paternal uncle Patrick McGraw of West Milford, N.J.; cousins, Cassandra and John Gallagher, Garrett, Ryan and Shannon Gallagher, Anthony and Nicholas Galluzzo and Philip Holman; a large amount of distant cousins; and a multitude of friends and the love of everyone who knew him. He was predeceased by maternal grandmother Dorothy Gallagher (Smallwood).

Gregory gave a "Gift of Life" with his donations of organs and eyes. May someone live on in his gifts.

A memorial tribute and Mass will be held at the West Milford Presbyterian Church in the near future. Greg's mother, Charlene, will make a formal announcement with those details as soon as they are solidified.
