Maynard Gregory, who was well known in the Milford community, passed away suddenly on November 10, 2026. Gregory was active in the Democratic Party in Delaware as well as a long-time volunteer for the Milford Museum.
“I am incredibly saddened to hear of Maynard Gregory’s passing during breakfast this morning, but I am grateful that he was able to be among some of his good friends and mine,” Gregory Layton posted on social media.
Layton continued, describing Maynard’s sense of humor and how far he would go to make people smile.
“Maynard was also a steady and reliable volunteer for the things he believed in,” Layton continued. “His church, the local museum and, of course, the Democratic Party, which has had one incredible week.”
The 36th Democratic Party announced that services for Maynard were planned for Saturday, November 21 at 10 AM at Reformation Lutheran Church with a funeral planned at 11 AM that day. Services would be followed by a fellowship meal at the church.
“Please continue to keep his wife, Eleanor, and his family and friends lifted in prayer,” the social media post read. “Maynard cared deeply about his family, friends, community, church and the Democratic Party. He will be missed.”
