Greg Flatt died in Denver, Colorado on August 23, 2018 at the age of 46 years. He was born in Medina, NY on October 13, 1971.

He was a member of the MHS Class of 1989. While in school he was in choir, jazz band, Mustang marching band playing the flugelhorn among other instruments. He was a little short nerdy farm kid with big glasses. He starred in the school production of The Electrical Sunshine Man in 1983 as Thomas Edison. He enjoyed being part of Doc Mruczek’s boy scout troop. He was a member of the First Baptist Church in Medina and was baptised there.

Because of his big heart and generous nature, he is lovingly remembered by all the people he went to school with, worshiped with and worked for in all his many jobs. On Facebook his friends reveal to me how much Greg meant to them. He was a wonderful cook and some of the places he worked were the Apple Grove, Cafora’s, Rudy’s, Spencer’s Country Store, Bill’s Sub Shop and more. Later in life he switched to construction and handyman work for which he was excellent. Makes a mother proud to know how many people’s lives he touched with his kindness.

There will be no prior calling hours. A memorial service will be held at the Cooper Funeral Home, 215 West Center Street, Medina, NY on September 15, 2018 at noon followed by a Remembrance Luncheon at the United Methodist Church, 11004 West Center Street, Medina NY at 1 PM.
