Greg Dewayne Neely

October 3, 1990

Went through Paramedic school with David "Al" McCollum. Greg was one of the first paramedics Life Force hired.

Greg Neely died October 3, 1990. He made the ultimate sacrifice--his life--when he fell to his death during a hazardous mountain rescue attempt. Erlanger Medical Center's Life Force helicopter answered a call to assist a man who had fallen from a cliff. As Greg was rappelling up the side of the cliff his safety line broke, allowing him to fall 125 feet to his death. He was 26 years old.

Love for his job and providing caring care set Greg Neely apart from other paramedics. On every call he worked diligently to relieve the pain and suffering of each person he assisted.
