The family would like to thank the friends and workers at the Grand Court Senior Living Center, where Greg lived the last few years of his life. He loved his association with them, and was quick to lend a hand or visit someone who needed a friend.

Greg was raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and spent his last years as an active member. He loved sharing the gospel with anyone and everyone who would listen. He amassed an impressive social media following, constantly sharing messages of hope and faith.
