Gregory Gene DeWitt, 59 of Tipton died Saturday, September 4, 2021 at home, surrounded by his family. He was born in Tipton on September 28, 1961 to Jerry D. & Betty (Yeary) DeWitt.

Greg graduated from Tipton High School in the Class of 1980. After high school he started working for Pioneer Hi-Bred in Tipton and worked there until 1997 when he left to start his own business, DeWitts Craftsmen of Fine Woods, with his brother Brent. They produced hand-crafted, high-end cabinetry. He worked there until 2011. Greg then worked at RAL Inspection Service in Westfield where he made many life-long friends. He retired in 2019. Greg and Dawn had attended Rock Prairie Baptist Church. There was nothing he couldn’t fix. He was an avid fisherman and enjoyed pheasant hunting. Greg liked to watch IRL races. He started cooking and grilling while at Pioneer and was considered a “grill master” by his family and friends. He was undefeated in family board games.
