Greg Heiman, 70, passed away on August 15, 2026 after a brief illness. He was at home in Greenville, South Carolina, with his family. Greg was an adventurous spirit, a lifelong learner, and a music lover. Greg was a giant in all he did: he enjoyed a lifelong career in commercial diving; was an avid athlete, playing football in college and staying active even through his illness; traveled fearlessly; loved photography, cars, and motorcycles; and went to any concert he could get a ticket to. He was always reading and told great stories. Greg cherished his identities as husband, father, son, brother, and amigo.
He is preceded in death by his mother, JoLee Heiman, and survived by his wife of 39 years, Karen; his children, Jace, Ellen (Mark); his father, James; his siblings, Doug (Kacey), Tim, and Melissa (Eric); and many cousins, nieces and nephews, in-laws, and friends.
