On behalf of Greg's 'family's', I want to thank everyone for honoring Greg with the beautiful words. I know Randy, Jen, Beth, & Mom appreciate all of the kindness & in time they will be able to talk about it. They have all held together like cement, I couldn't be prouder of them for the strength & compassion they have shown everyone.

I don't know Nicole personally. Anyone that is close to her please let her know that I'm here for her. If she needs a pen-pal, wants to talk, or needs to escape to a semi-tropical paradise, Heck! I'll take her to the Keys I need a break too. Honestly, anything she need, I'm here for her. She's a beautiful girl and I hope you all support her in her months & years ahead.

I've adored Greg since the day he strolled into my life & I'll love him until my end. We always depend on tomorrow, Greg's a bright ray of sunshine that will be missing from the rest of our tomorrows.

From Florida it seems like it would be easier to handle the loss of Greg. And I thought it would be easier than it has been...There will always be a void now where his smiles, laughter, and smart humor used to be.

I hope you have found the peace you were searching for lil' Bro'. I'm still here in sunny FL waiting for you to walk in my front door...

I have known Greg since jr high. He has always been the kind of guy every girl wanted smart, funny, and someone who really cared and wasn't afraid to show it. I'll miss how he was always willing to give you a hug and was excited to see you and talk to you.

Nicole Marshall

When i moved to Boise in the 3rd grade i was very nervous because i had no friends. I remember Greg being one of the first strangers to befriend me. This was in Greg's nature, whether you were familiar to him or not. He was a very caring and unique individual. Its very upsetting that its always the greatest people to leave us. You will stay in our hearts forever Greg and thank you for the memories.

Greg and I first met each other when we were six years old. We went to school together until high school and then we lost touch. I loved him like a brother and we always got along. I will love you always Greg and you will never leave my thoughts and prayers.

People come and go, colors fade, and one year becomes the next so quickly that in the end all we are really left with are our memories. It's hard to say, but at least Greg left me with happy ones. I will miss you, Greg and I know that I'm not alone. Peace be with you always.

After high school, Greg and I talked only a couple of times... but every time we did, we discussed hanging out. I haven't seen him in two years. It's funny how people think they have all the time in the world. I just figured we'd get together "later".

I can't imagine a person more loved, and I am thankful to have known him. RIP.
