He believed in hard work, taking care of the people he loved, and leaving things better than he found them.

Charles Gregory Sasser, 63, of the Fadette Community, passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 15, 2026, at Flowers Hospital.

Greg was born on March 14, 1963, in Atlanta, Georgia, to the late Hubert Earl and Myra Sue Brown Sasser.

Greg was a man who simply did not know how to sit still. He believed in hard work, taking care of the people he loved, and leaving things better than he found them. Whether he was working on a roof beneath the blazing summer sun, through the bitter cold of winter, or even in the rain, he was never afraid of a hard day’s work. Work was simply part of who he was. As hard as he worked, nothing was more important to him than his family. For 38 years, he was a loving and devoted husband to his wife, Dana. Their life together was built through decades of love, commitment, hard work, family, and countless memories. He was a proud father to his three sons, Danny, Lee, and Joey, and there were few things he enjoyed more than watching his boys play football as they grew up. As the years passed, that joy came full circle as he found himself in the stands once again, this time watching his grandsons play the game he loved so much. He loved Auburn football and could always be counted on to cheer for the Tigers. He loved motorcycles, bike rallies, hiking through the mountains, camping in the motorhome, spending days at the lake with his grandchildren, and simply being outdoors. Some of his happiest times were spent on the open road or in the mountains, enjoying the freedom and beauty of the world around him. He also had a heart for his community. He willingly gave his time and his hands to help build and improve things at the recreation park, baseball field, and football field. If something needed to be built, repaired, cleaned up, or taken care of, he was often one of the first people willing to help. He didn't need recognition for it. Helping was simply what he did. He took great pride in everything entrusted to him. His home and yard were always immaculate, and his vehicles were kept just as carefully. He believed that if something was worth having, it was worth taking care of. He was also a devoted son and a man who loved deeply, even when that love wasn't always expressed with words. And then there were his dogs. He could never turn away a stray that needed a home, and his Yorkies held an especially big place in his heart. They were his constant companions and, much to the delight of anyone who saw them, were even known to join him for motorcycle rides. His love for animals was just another example of the tenderness behind the hardworking man everyone knew. He worked hard. He loved his family. He served his community. He took care of what was his and helped others whenever he could. Most importantly, he lived. He lived a full life, one measured not simply in years, but in the people he loved, the memories he made, the work of his hands, and the lives he touched along the way. Though his family would have gladly taken many more years with him, they are grateful for the life he lived and the memories he leaves behind. His legacy will live on in Dana, Danny, Lee, and Joey, in his grandchildren, and in every football field, baseball field, home, project, and person that was made a little better because he was there. He will be deeply missed, forever loved, and remembered as a hardworking man who lived life fully, loved his family fiercely, and never stopped moving until the work was done.

In addition to his parents, Greg was preceded in death by his sister, Pam Motley.

He is survived by his loving wife, Dana Hughes Sasser; his sons, Danny Sasser (Brittany), Lee Sasser (Leighanna), and Joey Sasser (Megan); his grandchildren, Weston Sasser, Adilyn Sasser, Wyatt Sasser, Cruz Klapal, Wade Sasser, Wise Sasser, Charles “Avery” Sasser, Lily Sasser, Lottie Sasser, James Grady Sasser, and Beau Sasser; his siblings, Wendy Douglas (Kenny) and Christopher Sasser; special friends, Mickey Herring, Brian Farley, Ron Barrett, James Helms, and Allen Bond; along with numerous extended family members and friends.

A Celebration of Life service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, in the chapel of Sorrells Funeral Home in Slocomb, with Rev. Brad Price officiating. Interment will follow at Wright’s Creek Cemetery. The family will receive friends at Sorrells Funeral Home one hour prior to the service.

Greg leaves behind a legacy of love, family, friendship, and hard work. He will be forever missed and lovingly remembered by his family and friends.
