On Wednesday, March 31, 2021 Greg Alan McClain, loving husband and father, passed away at the age of 64. He was born February 21, 1957 in Lansing to James and Elizabeth (Reese) McClain. On May 27, 1995 Greg married Susan Patterson. He spent his time working as a mechanic and over the road truck driver for many years.
Greg's biggest passion in life was his daughters and grandkids. He had a devotion for flying, drawing, John Wayne movies, Willie Nelson and oldies music. He was a die hard Michigan fan and enjoyed spending time at his cottage. Greg was an old car enthusiast, especially for his 1955 Olds, which his step-dad and him fixed up and took to car shows. Greg had a soft spot for spending time with family during the holidays, watching movies and dressing up as The Grinch.
Surviving is his wife of 26 years, Susan (Patterson) McClain; mother, Elizabeth McKinley; children, Heather (James) Waters, Melissa McClain, and Amanda (Steve) Andre; grandchildren, Tiyler, Lucas, Caleb, and Lucy; siblings, Sheri (Lorna Stone) Sivec, Scott McClain, Kelli (Mark) Koonter, and Laurie Johnson; several nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his father, James McClain; step-father, Donald McKinley; sister, Jackie Roy; and loving grandparents.
A graveside service will be held at 12:00pm on Friday, April 9, 2021 at Evergreen Cemetery in Lansing. Visitation will be held from Noon-2:00 and 4:00-6:00 on Thursday at Tiffany Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are suggested to the Alzheimer's Association in Greg's memory.
