Remembering Greg Germain


Gregory Germain

December 30, 1961 – January 1, 2025

Gregory (Greg) William Germain passed away on January 1, 2025 from complications following heart surgery.

Greg was born on December 30, 1961 to Everett and Lois Germain in Falls Church, VA. He grew up with five siblings and graduated from Jeb Stuart High School in 1980 before attending Old Dominion University where he played soccer and majored in Business Administration. Greg married the love of his life, Suzy Cobb, on March 11, 1989. Greg was a proud father and cherished his three children Katie, Sarah, and Billy.

Greg enjoyed traveling to national parks, spending time with family at Bethany Beach, and cheering on the Washington Commanders. He worked in the insurance business for 40 years, first with Prudential and then as an independent agency owner with Nationwide. Greg also served as a board member with the Annandale Boys & Girls Club and ran their much-loved annual Christmas Tree Lot fundraiser. His favorite past-time was soccer, which brought many friendships playing for the ABGC Red Wings, amazing trips around the world, his glory days at ODU, and introduced him to a firecracker defender Suzy Cobb. Together, they would coach all of their kids’ teams and be their biggest supporters on and off the field.

Those left to honor Greg’s legacy include his wife Suzy Cobb Germain, daughter Katie (Andy) Whitman and grandkids (Mae, Will & Jack), daughter Sarah (Mike) Showak and grandkids (Calvin & Jane), son Billy (Kristen Hill) Germain, brother Rusty (Radha) Germain, sister Julie (Jeff) Thompson, and many beloved nieces, nephews, in-laws, cousins, friends, and teammates.

Greg was preceded in death by his father Everett Germain Jr., mother Lois (McCann) Germain, brother Kevin Germain, sister Betsy Cary, and brother Kip Germain.

A visitation will be held at Demaine Funeral Home in Fairfax on January 12, 2025, 2:00pm-5:00pm, followed by a funeral mass the following day at St. Timothy Catholic Church, January 13, 2025, 10:00am-11:00am. A burial will then proceed following the mass at 12:00pm at Andrew Chapel Cemetery. Please park in the chapel parking lot. Family and friends are welcome back to Solace Brewing Company for a reception and celebration of Greg’s life at 1:30pm.

Special thanks to the doctors, nurses, and staff in the Cardiac ICU at Virginia Hospital Center for their care.

We will always carry Greg’s memory in our hearts.
