Obituary

On October 12, 2018, Gregory Patrick Bridges passed away at the age of 65. Greg was born October 23, 1952 to Allie Bridges and Christine (Weldon) Bridges. He graduated from West Columbia High School and went on to serve in the Air Force for 4 years. While in the USAF, Greg was selected to be a medic by his superiors and was recognized for his innovations regarding the hyperbaric chamber.  After being honorably discharged, he worked at NASA in Houston, TX where he assisted in suiting up astronauts. Greg was very loved and cherished by his family and friends. Those who knew him well recognized him for his integrity and understood his sense of humor. While he was a very successful salesman in his career, his true passions were nature, hunting, fishing, history (particularly Texas history as a descendent of Quanah Parker,) cooking, and golf. He is preceded in death by his mother and father (Allie and Christine Bridges) and his brother (Doug Bridges). He is survived by his wife and stepson (Laurie Ziegler and Nathaniel Liska), and his daughter, son in law, and granddaughter (A.J., Brett, and Camryn Levee). Services will be held at the Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery on November 6, 2018 at 9:15 A.M. Remembrances may be made in the form desired by family and friends. Arrangements under the direction of: ARIA Cremation Service and Funeral Home 19310 Preston Road Dallas, Texas 75252 214 306 6700

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
