Gregory Bruce McDonell was born July 21, 1948, and passed away on October 15, 2025, at the age of 77. After this first mention, Greg is remembered as an adventurous and brave man—beloved and cherished by those who knew him, and marked by a generous, compassionate spirit that quietly made room for others.
Hard-working and inspirational, Greg carried himself with a kind-hearted, selfless steadiness that did not seek attention, yet left a lasting imprint. He was devoted in the ways that matter most, resilient through life’s turns, and wise with the kind of wisdom that comes from listening, enduring, and choosing kindness again and again.
Loyal to the people he loved and the life he built, Greg’s presence will be missed in the everyday moments where love is most clearly felt—spoken and unspoken, remembered and carried forward.
A Committal Service will be held at Willamette National Cemetery in Happy Valley, Oregon, on May 8, 2026, at 2:00 pm.
