My sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Rose family, the Campbell County Camels sporting communities and friends of Greg's. He was a great man, who through his voice would entertain a crowd, regardless of whom they were rooting for. I'll continue to keep you all in my prayers.

Gregory Allen Rose, 52 of Alexandria, KY passed away on April 25, 2014 at his residence.

Born June 3, 1961 in Fort Thomas, KY to Paul Rose and Charlene (Ruwe) Rose.

He was preceded in death by his father Paul Rose.

Greg worked for STG Lane Ltd. as a National Account Manager. He graduated from Campbell County High School in 1979 and Northern Kentucky University in 1983. During college he was a fraternity member for Pi Kappa Alpha. Greg was The Voice of the Camels (P.A. Announcer), involved with the Campbell County Boosters Club (headed special projects such as Taste of Campbell County, helped with the CCHS Stadium, Project Graduation, etc.) and was heavily involved with sporting programs for Campbell County Schools. He coached youth sports (such as soccer, basketball, and baseball), and established and coached the Campbell Spirit AAU Basketball program. Greg was an active church member at Christ Baptist Church of Cold Spring, KY where he was a leader with the men's breakfast prayer group. Greg throughly enjoyed traveling to Zimbabwe, Africa as he did missionary trips with Christ Baptist Church of Cold Spring. Greg was a loving husband, father, son, grandpa, and friend to many. He was beyond joyful for the upcoming wedding and marriage of his son Zach and Kathryn Scott in June. Growing up playing football was his passion, from playing Red Devils football as a youth to Campbell County Middle and High School football as a running back. His two sons followed in his footsteps as running backs for Campbell County High School as well.

Greg was my cousin, though we only seen each other once or twice a year I will always remember our talks at the True family reunions at Kincaid Lake State Park.

 

When my brother who played for Bourbon County played at Campbell Co. he would always get excited when he made a tackle. He was a great family man as can be seen by the stand up class act children he has.

 

Greg I'll miss our sports talks and ministry talks but I'll try and keep em going with Uncle Joe. Sad, sad day.
