It is with deep sorrow our family announces Gregory John’s sudden and unexpected passing on August 2, 2020 at St. Boniface Hospital, Winnipeg, Manitoba. Gregory passed peacefully, with his loving parents at his side.
Gregory had a deep love for his family and friends. He fought hard to stay with them. Although he leaves many to mourn his passing, his mother Tammy; father Robert; big sisters Jennifer (Scott), and Ryley; and big brother Kevin are especially heartbroken. Greg enjoyed the time he spent with his nephews, Max and Sami. They made him laugh when they were (in Greg’s affectionate words), “extra screamy.” Gregory was an exceptional grandson in his care of his two grandmothers, Irene and Audrey, and our family takes comfort that he is reunited with them. Greg was predeceased by his brother Sean, and they too shall unite.
Gregory is remembered as kind, gentle, honest, and fiercely loyal to those who shared life with him. His wonderful sense of humour, deep infectious laugh and generous spirit will be missed beyond imagination.
Greg’s passion for flying allowed him to soar, and his employment in sales allowed him to “suit up” in his suits, bowties and his crazy assortment of socks. Greg enjoyed music, reading, and comedy. He had a broad knowledge base of information and gladly participated in spirited discussions on any topic presented him.
The family would like to thank the health care professionals from the Grace and St. Boniface Hospitals, for their exceptional care of both Greg and his family in his final days.
Due to current health and safety regulations, a private, informal service will take place at the family cabin with his immediate family. We encourage Greg’s extended family and friends, to remember Greg in their own special way. “Suit up” in his memory and if you have a bowtie, and crazy socks, bonus, as Greg would love that.
Rest in Peace Greg, soar with the angels, be free. We have always and will always love you with all our hearts.
In lieu of flowers, if so desired, donations to a charity of your choice is appreciated.
