Greg Cunningham
Organ, Eye and Tissue Donor
/January 7, 2023
Greg Cunningham was a native of Sacramento County and lived there for most of his life. He was semi-retired and volunteered tirelessly in his community. His favorite pastime was trout fishing in remote Sierra lakes, but he was also a devout “fisher of men,” who led many men to Christ. Greg was a beloved husband of Victoria Cunningham and beloved father of Makenzie Cunningham. He passed away on January 5, 2023, following a severe head injury. He donated his heart, liver, kidneys, eyes and tissues, saving the lives of at least four organ recipients.
