Gregg Bellman

Gregg Alan Bellman, 63, passed away on October 30, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of love, friendship, adventure, and perseverance. Born on September 6, 1963, in Montana to Frederick and Nancy Bellman Irion, Gregg lived a life defined by his determination to embrace every opportunity and find joy in the things he loved.

Gregg had a spirit of adventure and a love for life that carried him down countless trails, along open highways, and onto speedways. Riding his bikes was more than a hobby; it was a passion that gave him a sense of freedom, excitement, and connection to the world around him. Whether exploring a winding trail or feeling the rush of the open road, Gregg found happiness in the journey itself. He lived life to the fullest, always seeking new experiences and making memories along the way.

Gregg's life was also marked by remarkable resilience. After losing most of his hearing, he faced the challenge with determination and a willingness to learn. He learned sign language and went on to teach it, turning a personal challenge into an opportunity to connect with and help others. His ability to adapt and continue pursuing meaningful interests was a testament to his strength of character and his belief that life's challenges did not have to define him.

When heart failure took away much of the physical strength he had once enjoyed through sports and other activities, Gregg found a new passion in astrophotography. With the help and encouragement of Vladimir and Gustavo, he discovered the beauty of capturing the wonders of the night sky. Through astrophotography, Gregg was able to continue exploring, learning, and finding inspiration in the world around him. The stars offered him a new avenue for adventure and a reminder that even when life changes, there are still beautiful things waiting to be discovered.

Above all, Gregg treasured the people in his life. He leaves behind his fiancée, Karen Jones, of Houston, Texas, whom he loved deeply. Gregg cherished Karen and enjoyed the time he spent with her family, finding happiness in their companionship, shared experiences, and the warmth of being together. Their love was an important part of his life, and the memories they created will remain a lasting source of comfort and affection.

Gregg was a friend to many. His genuine spirit, adventurous nature, and love of life brought people into his world, and he valued the friendships he formed along the way. He had a way of making connections that went beyond circumstances, and those who knew him will remember his determination, his curiosity, and his willingness to embrace life despite its challenges.

Gregg's journey was one of continual discovery. From the roads he traveled and the sports he enjoyed to the lessons he learned and the stars he photographed, he continued to find ways to experience the world with enthusiasm and wonder.

Though his passing leaves a profound sadness for those who loved him, his memory will live on in the hearts of his family, his fiancée Karen, his many friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. His life reminds us to cherish the people we love, embrace the adventures before us, and find new ways to experience beauty even when the path changes.

Gregg will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

He leaves behind his mother, Nancy Bellman Irion, his sister Denise Bellman, and brother, Dale Bellman and their families.
