Gregory Sebastian Hess, age 34, passed away on January 19, 2026. Born on August 8, 1991, Greg will be remembered for his kind heart, bright spirit, and genuine compassion for others.

Greg is survived by his loving parents, Michael Hess, MD, and Sherry Vance; his stepfather, Leonard Vance; and his brothers, Bryan Hess (Abby) and Nick Hess (Stefanie). He is also lovingly remembered by extended family and many friends whose lives he touched.

He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Raymond and Irmgard Hess, and his maternal grandparents, Robert and Martha Edwards.

Greg grew up in Goshen, Kentucky, and attended North Oldham High School. He later earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Geographic Information Systems from the University of Louisville. Greg proudly applied his talents in his work with Spatial Data Integrations, where his intelligence, dedication, and attention to detail were valued.

Greg had a big heart and a warm, genuine smile. He was always ready to stand up for the underdog and never hesitated to offer encouragement or support to those in need. A lifelong learner, Greg pursued his interests with focus and enthusiasm whenever something sparked his curiosity.

One of Greg’s greatest joys was his lifelong passion for Legos—a hobby that began in childhood and remained a meaningful source of creativity and happiness throughout his life. He also shared a deep and special bond with his beloved late dog, Cosmo, who was his constant companion and best friend.
