Gregory Ian "Greg" MACDONALD

MACDONALD, Gregory Ian "Greg" It is with a sad heart we announce the passing of Greg Macdonald after a short battle with cancer on March 25, 2019, at the age of 55 years at the Foothills hospital in Calgary, Alberta. A native of Vancouver, Greg was raised by loving parents Ian and Shirley in the British Properties on Moyne Drive. Greg's childhood home backed onto an old growth forest which began Greg's love of nature. Greg spent many of his days in the woods with his dog Mindy by his side scrambling up the Capilano river cliffs with a fishing rod in hand. Greg enjoyed the outdoors. In the winter you would find him playing shinny hockey on the outdoor ice at McKenzie Lake. In the summer, if you didn't find him roller blading on the walking path in McKenzie Lake, you would find him in the many lakes and rivers in Alberta, fly fishing. Through Greg's love of fishing and the outdoors he made good friends and travelled to fishing spots in Canada and abroad. Greg's love of outdoor activities was instilled in his children who both love to skate, hike and fly fish. Greg was the President of Sage Appraisals in Calgary Alberta with his AACI, P. App designation and a graduate of the UBC Sauder School of Business. Greg was well respected in the business community and was known for his newsletters and many lectures held at CREB on property values. He is survived by his wife of 28 years, Karen (nee Taylor), son, Taylor, daughter, Jordan, mother, Shirley, sister, Deidre (Wedlidi Speck) and grandchild, Abel. A Celebration of Greg's life will be on April 20, 2019 from 1- 4 pm, at the McKenzie Lake Beach Club (16199 McKenzie Lake Way SE, Calgary, Alberta T2Z 1L7).
