Mr. Lyle was born December 21, 1983 in Jackson, MS, a son of Willis Alexander Lyle, Jr. and Deborah Anne (Blaine) Sensabaugh.

He lit up the room with his beautiful blue eyes and his wonderful smile. He loved everyone and never met a stranger. He was a bright light in the hearts of everyone who knew him and had the best sense of humor and could make anyone laugh. He had a kind, caring heart and never wanted anyone to be sad. Greg was always smiling when he saw others were happy. He was a wonderful gift from God and our miracle every day. He was an amazing inspiration to everyone who was blessed to know and love him.
Greg taught his family and friends the true meaning of courage, strength, and unconditional love. He took life on with smiles and laughter, never complaining over any struggles that he had to face.
