Gregory Boyce Oden, a devoted brother, and adventurous spirit, passed away on March 3, 2025, in of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Gregory dedicated his professional life to the craft of welding and boiler making, earning the esteem of colleagues and clients alike. His technical skills were complemented by a remarkable passion for mechanics, and love for working on old cars and motorcycles.
In addition to his trade, Gregory proudly served as a Paratrooper, an experience that filled him with joy as he relished the thrill of jumping out of airplanes. This adventurous spirit defined much of Gregory's life, as he embraced challenges and approached each new day with enthusiasm.
Among his proudest accomplishments was his unique stint as an extra in various films, including those featuring the legendary Burt Reynolds. These experiences brought him immense joy and a sense of excitement that resonated deeply with his passion for life.
Gregory is survived by his loving siblings, Elizabeth Koster, Helen Hebert (James), and Kenneth Oden (Sandra) and numerous nieces and nephews. His absence will undoubtedly be felt among family and friends, especially his dear friend Wesley, who the family would like to give thanks to for being such a great friend.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Olander Oden and Althea Brignac Oden.
As we bid farewell to Gregory Boyce Oden, we celebrate a life rich with experiences, achievements, and deep connections. He will be dearly missed and fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him. We would like to give a special thank you to Clarity Hospice and thank you to the dedicated staff at Weldon Estates.
