Gregory Lynn Caddle

January 3, 1963 - July 1, 2020

Gregory Lynn Caddle was born on January 3, 1963 in Chicago, Illinois to Harry S. Caddle and Wenonia Bell-Caddle. He was the youngest of eight siblings. Gregory affectionately known as “Big Greg” or “Greg” to family and friends was educated in the Chicago Public School System attending Gillespie Elementary School through eighth grade and then Percy L. Julian High School. Greg was most proud of his children. He often highlighted their achievements and proudly spoke of them and his grandchildren. Greg met and later married Kimberly Jackson on December 15, 1986. To this union one child was born: Gregory Akeem. Greg joined the U.S. Army days after marrying Kimberly serving overseas in Germany until 1990. After being honorably discharged from the Army, Greg attended Lincoln Technical Institute where he obtained certification in Auto Diesel Mechanics. It was a fitting trade because Greg loved cars and could often be found repairing cars for almost anyone who asked. On July 1, 2020, Greg departed this life. He will be united again with father Harry Sinclair Caddle Sr., brother Alphonso McKenzie, and sisters Deborah Lynn Terry and Daphne Avon McKenzie. Greg is survived by his wife, Kimberly Jackson-Caddle and four resilient children: Ieisha Meighan (Perry) Humphrey, Alicia (Jarvis) Beene, Candis Jackson, and Gregory Akeem Caddle; seven grandchildren: Xavier, Jaylen, Amarei, Caleb, Nina, Zachary, and Terrance; his mother, Wenonia Bell-Caddle; siblings Esther “Honey” Mosley, Harry S.
