ANTHONY GREER Obituary

Anthony Parker Greer Gone Fishin' Anthony, age 24, returned home on March 19, 2011. Anthony and his twin brother, Nicholas, were born to Mark and Lori Holt Greer on February 23, 1987, in SLC, UT. He was a loving son, brother and friend. Fishing was his passion on any river or stream, and he loved to take and teach anyone that would join him. He had many skills and talents, including tying flies. He accomplished many things in his life including obtaining his CNA and being a certified fly fishing guide for Flaming Gorge Lodge. He was currently employed by Larry H. Miller, and attending college, at the time of his passing. Anthony loved spending time with his family. This was especially so at the cabin alongside the Blacksfork River. He will be deeply missed by his parents, Mark and Lori; his twin brother, Nicholas; younger brother, Alexander (Morgan); sisters, Katelyn and Olivia; as well as his grandparents, Lynn and Kay Holt; Fred and Ramona (late) Greer. Anthony was welcomed in Heaven by his older brother, Douglas; and his loving grandmother, Ramona. Anthony had a special gift for being a friend to everyone. His smile was contagious. He was loyal, honest and dependable and valiant in his efforts to love, serve and take care of others. Very few men have had such a meaningful impact on so many people as Anthony did on those that he came in contact with. His reputation for being a constant giver will continue through his act of being an organ donor, and because of his desire to help others, many will continue to be blessed. Funeral services will be held Friday, March 25, 2011 at 12 Noon at 2550 W. 9800 S. in South Jordan. A viewing will be held on Thursday, March 24, 2011 from 6-8 p.m. at 9750 S. 2200 W. in South Jordan and also prior to the funeral on Friday, March 25, 2011 from 10:45-11:45 a.m. at 2550 W. 9800 S., in South Jordan. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Anthony P. Greer memorial fund at any Chase bank. www.goffmortuary.com

Lori,
So sad to hear of this. I read his obit in the paper without realizing he was your son (Phil Hailes clued me in). But it touched me nonetheless, so much that I found my self thinking of him and his family in the days following. I was so impressed by this young man and his love for fishing and the outdoors, and all he was and accomplished in his life.

My heart goes out to you and your family - May God bless you with comfort and perspective, and that you may feel and experience the love and presence of your son.

A Message From Heaven

Perhaps you aren't ready yet
to have to say good-bye...
Perhaps you've thought of things
you wish you'd said--well, so have I.
For one thing, I'd have told you
not to worry about me...
I'm with the Lord in Heaven now--
you knew that's where I'd be.
I'm sorry that you're feeling sad,
for I'm so happy now...
I've asked the Lord to ease the hurt
and comfort you somehow.
It's hard at the beginning,
but I know you'll make it through...
I hope it helps to know
that I'll be waiting here for you..

March 25, 2011

Anthony will always be in your heart. He was a wonderful son and had many sweet qualities that few young men possess. He had wisdom and a very kind heart. Anthony will not be far away. His mission has just begun.

Dear Greer Family - We've never met, but we feel a bond with you. About 5 1/2 years ago, we lost our 17-year-old son Blake. We know the grief and pain you are experiencing, but we also know that peace and healing will come through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. If you need to talk to someone who understands, please contact us. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Greer family,
You are all in my heart and my little family will keep you in our prayers. I know how hard it is when you lose a loved one as I have just gone through the experience, but when I say this, I don't mean to say that I know how hard it is for you personally. I really don't know. I only know how I feel. Just remember you have people who may not know you personally that still care for your family. I didn't know Anthony very well. I only met him once through a friend, but when I saw his picture I recognized him and I remembered him. We will pray for your comfort.

We want you to know your family is in our prayers. We appreciate your family being great neighbors, and all you have done for us over the years.

John 14:27 is true: "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

Our hearts and prayers are with you during this time.

So sorry for your loss.

I used to go fishing a lot with Anthony several years ago when we met and realized we both had a passion for fishing. He showed me some of my favorite fishing holes and was a great friend, unfortunately we didn't get to hang out as much over the past couple of years because of my work, and busy life. Now I regret it.

He was younger than me but he always was wise beyond his years and always went out of his way to get ahold of me to tell me where he had been and try and get together to hit our fishing spots.

So saddened. If anyone has any more details, please feel free to email me.

When You feel Lonely
When a person you love passes away
Look to the night sky on a clear day.
The star that to you, appears to be bright,
Will be your loved one,
Looking upon you during the night.
The lights of heaven are what shows through
As your loved one watches all that you do.
When you feel lonely for the one that you love,
Look to the Heavens in the night sky above.

My Deepest Condolences
