I'm Greg's Aunt.  My fondest memory of Greg is when we were growing up.  The whole family would come over every weekend to my mom and dad's house (Otto and Viv) We had a shetland pony named "Chester" Greg would get on that Shetland pony and ride up on the porch chasing everyone off! We would all run!! 🤣 He was one busy kid!! 😘

Our family has fond memories of the Kilian Family.  My husband worked with Greg's dad Jim as his apprentice.  We shared lots of laughter and good times together.  Greg was always so kind and personable to our kids who were very young at the time.  His laugh and smile were contagious!  We are so truly sorry for his passing.

Greg! Always full of life and a joy to be around! Lauren, Payton, and Katie, you probably already know but you were Greg’s world. He bragged about you to all he met in his travels. So sorry to hear about this loss!!! 

Grip was one of a kind.  Full of life and always up for an adventure, and a big brother from my earliest memories.  I’ll always cherish the memories of our canoe trips, hunting, and fishing together.

He was a generous soul. 

Deepest sympathy to all who loved him.

I am so sad to hear about the tragic loss of someone so young and full of life. My prayers are with your family during this difficult time.

I'm so sorry to hear of Greg's passing, but happy he had just had such a good time in Alaska. I was lucky to be a part of the hunting parties up north at Dave's, and Greg and I always shared a lot of laughs. My condolences to the entire family - he will be missed💖

Greg has been a dear friend of our whole family for many years. Greg, his Dad, and brothers were always members of our deer hunting party from the time the boys were kids until they came up north as adults. It’s hard to believe we will never see him , enjoy his jokes and teases, and just give him a hug again. Our love to his family, especially Kari, Ben, Jim and Eileen, and children Lauren and Payton. We hold you all close in our hearts during this sad time. Love, Stacey and Dave

Killian Family. Stacey and I are so sad to learn of Greg’s death. Our thoughts are with you.
