He served an LDS mission to Spokane, Washington.Upon returning from his mission, Greg enrolled in Biosystems of Arizona where he majored and graduated in repiratory therapy. He was employed at the University of Utah Medical Center in the newborn Intensive Care Unit. He loved his work with premature babies and the people he worked with. Greg was an avid skier in winter and mountain biker in the summer. He found peace in both sports and competed regularly in skiing events. Greg was an academic enthusiast. He continued taking college classes at the U of U in various interests.

Each of us has lost a little piece of ourselves today. We will miss our youngest son and brother more than words can express. "We hope peace will be yours, Greg."

I have fond memories of Greg, we grew up in the same neighborhood and ward. He was always nice to me, no matter where or whom he was with. I was sad to hear he had passed away.
Greg was my best friend for several years during and after High School. He was an amazing keyboard player, and is the only person I have ever personally seen that could sight read Keith Emerson's keyboard parts from an Emerson, Lake, and Palmer book of scores.
He fought some personal Demons toward the end, but left some amazing memories with those of us who knew and worked and played with him.
Greg was my neighbor for as long as I can remember... He was always there, thru Timpanogos, Dixon and Provo High...Greg was always my friend and we had fun together in the neighborhood...He is missed... Jean Fowler Liddell
