here.Kevin Michael Gregg, age 37, of Barnegat, NJ passed away suddenly on Thursday, October 8, 2015. Kevin grew up in Beachwood, NJ, attended Pine Beach Elementary School, Toms River Intermediate West, and graduated from Toms River High School South in 1996.
As a child, Kevin developed a keen interest in turtles, after graduation his grandmother saved one on the road and brought it to him. At the age of nine, he acquired a turtle who lived the life of luxury as Kevin's constant companion, right up to the day Kevin left us. He had that turtle for 28 years. Kevin can only be described be described as unique, imaginative, fun loving, mischievous and as a child, a complete handful. But he grew up to be a fine, charming, thoughtful and caring man who was loved and awed by the many people whose lives he touched. I guess one could say that Kevin was "pure entertainment." All who met him admired his enthusiasm and zest for life. Kevin was, above all else, a platful force to be reckoned with.
Kevin was employed with TME Maintenance at Lakehurst Navy Base, later transferred to Earle Navy Base where he was currently employed at the time of his death.
For the last few years, he became somewhat of an" internet sensation" with his videos, websites, blogs, etc. for the Theme Park Maniacs and other coaster and amusement park fans. He trekked with his wife Anne Marie from one amusement park to another in state and out of state, video taping with a "secret" camera in his crazy sunglasses or whatever was the costume of the day every single adventure and sharing them on the internet via You Tube where you can still find them. His website explained in detail everything you could ever want to know about his amusement park escapades. Six Flags Great Adventure is now aware of the importance of remembering to "up sell the teacups."
Despite the fact that he is most known today for the theme park fascination, there are just too many facets of Kevin and it wouldtake a novel to wxplain. For us, his family, Kevin was a devoted husband, son, grandson, brother, uncle, nephew, and cousin who left an emptiness in our hearts that no one can ever fill.
Kevin is survived by his sweet loving wife, Anne Marie Curcio Gregg, his grandmother, Lillian Harmer of Toms River, his mother Pauline Harmer Gregg, his siblings, Kathleen Gregg Huertas of Browns Mills, Richard Gregg of Barnegat and Kenneth Gregg of Toms River, his mother and father in law, Andrew and Judy Curcio of Toms River and brother in law Joe Curcio, five nieces, four nephews, and one great grand niece and one great grand nephew and of course, his turtle feefil. In addition he has a large extended family of aunts, uncles and cousins and an ocean of friends who will all miss him dearly.
