Gregory Diedrich Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 27, 2012.
Gregory Franklin Diedrich was born July 1, 1955 in Miami. Our Lord called Gregory home Jan. 26, 2012. Greg settled in Las Vegas in 1988, where he started Diedrich Construction, specializing in kitchen and bath remodeling. He was a devoted husband, father, and stepfather, although "step" was never in his vocabulary. Greg was an accomplished private pilot, enjoyed playing golf and was an avid outdoors man who loved camping, fishing, hiking and exploring nature. Greg is survived by his wife, Esther; children, Alida Diedrich, Arielle Diedrich, Julie Long, Eric Christiernsson, Amanda (Thomas) Lovelady; and grandson, Michael Long, all of Las Vegas; his parents, Bernard J. and Marjorie H. Diedrich of Sarasota, Fla.; brothers, Bernard G. (Karen) Diedrich of Michigan, Robert (Linda) Diedrich of Oregon, and John (Cindy) Harland of Florida; sisters, Susan (John) Cradock of Massachusetts, Lisa (Jim) Braden of New York, Mary (Scott) MacDonald of New Hampshire, and Katie (Bruce) Rivard of Florida; and many loving nephews and nieces. Services will be at 3 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 4, at Palm Mortuary, 6701 N. Jones.

Greg and I met through our daughters, who are friends. Greg instantly made me feel as if he and I were friends since childhood. He left a part of his spirit in me. He was the kind of man I should have known better. I intend opening my mind and heart so I may visit with him often - and after our visits I intend sharing the sweetness of his soul with those persons who
make up my life. PEACE to you Greg. Thank you for being my friend.

A beautiful soul was taken to heaven the day Greg passed. His pain is finally over , and he now will always be with you. He's all around you. Ari, he can watch over you and see you grow and become the beautiful woman he has grown to love so much and become so close to this past year. I am so greatful for the small time I had spent with him , your dad has really touched a lot of people lives and I'm sure god is greatful to have him up there and has much bigger plans in store for him. You don't have to be strong anymore , just surrender. We are all here to be strong for you.. always will be. I love you! ?

Greg was the greatest man i have ever known. He was everything to me. He was a father figure, a mentor and most of all my friend. No matter what it was Greg was always there with a kind word, good advice or just to help out. There was and never will be another like my Brother Greg. Thank you Lord for allowing me to be graced and have my friend shine in my life.

Enjoying a warm Florida day with Greg 1/2011

Greg remodeled our kitchen and baths. What a pleasure it was to have him working for us - his workmanship showed immense pride in what he did, he was honest and hardworking - values hard to find today. Our only regret was that we didn't have more rooms to remodel. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family - he always spoke proudly about all of you.

Dear Esther - Our hearts and prayers are with you and your family during this time. I am thankful that Greg had you in his life. I am also thankful for the years that he gave to my neice and nephew Julie and Eric as a father figure and of course for giving us Alida and Arielle. He will be missed. Thankfully he is no longer in pain. There is no more tears and sorrow for him only for those who are left to remember him, fortuneantly we will all see him again when we celebrate the return of Christ. God bless you.
