Gregg Landes Jr., 20, of LaPorte, died unexpectedly at 12:33 p.m. Friday, April 25, 2014, in his home.
He was born July 17, 1993, in LaPorte to Gregg Landes Sr. and Vicky (Stegall) Landes.
Gregg was employed as a machine operator at OTech Industries in Rolling Prairie, IN. He was a very funny, outgoing, polite and loving person. His wonderful smile and charm would light up a room and was noticed by everyone. He enjoyed doing different things and was always willing to give it his best try. His idea of fun was riding anything with a motor on it, spending time with his family and friends, and anything to do with the beach.
Surviving are his parents; one sister, LeAnn Benedict of LaPorte; one brother, Alan (Dorothy) Tanksley of LaPorte; grandmother, Bernadette Nizinski of Michigan City, IN; grandparents, Linda and Terry Brainerd of LaPorte; five nieces and one nephew, all of LaPorte; and several aunts, uncles and cousins.
His grandfather, Norbert Nizinski, preceded him in death.
A memorial service will be held at 6 p.m. Thursday, May 1, at Lakeview Funeral Home and Crematory, LaPorte, with Pastor James Bouslog officiating. Visitation will be Thursday from 3 p.m. until the service.
Memorial contributions may be directed to the family.
