Jeffrey Greipp Obituary

Greipp, Jeffrey P. Jeff passed away peacefully on June 23, 2015 from a brief but heroic battle with cancer. He was surrounded in his battle and at his passing by his family and friends. Jeff's wife Melissa, their daughter, and his parents and siblings, survive him. Jeff was a graduate of Lourdes High School in Rochester, Minnesota, the University of St. Thomas (Minnesota), and Marquette Law School. He was an Eagle Scout who enjoyed camping with his family and traveling to national parks. He was a pilot, scuba diver, and marathon runner. He loved to cook and entertain for his family and friends and dedicated himself to creating special experiences for them. He was a loving husband, devoted father, and great friend. He will be remembered as a brilliant advocate and for his kindness, courage, and sense of humor. Memorials may be made to the schools he attended, the University of Phoenix, or his church. A memorial service will be held at the First Congregational Church at 1511 Church Street, in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin at 11:00 a.m. on July 11, with a visitation at the church at 10:00 a.m. He will be forever loved and forever missed.

So I am going to say this as simply as I can. Thank you Jeff! You have taught me so much about what is truly important in life. I read this article recently about discovering the purpose of life. I think Jeff figured this out much more quickly than I did. Jeff has helped me take on more joy and hope and taught me to live life to the fullest.

Thank you Jeff, you will be missed but definitely not forgotten.

I had the great fortune to share a trip to West Point with Jeff this past Winter as part of Apollo Group. As always he was delightful and couldn't stop talking about how he couldn't wait to get home to share the experience with his daughter (of whom he was so incredibly proud). My sincerest condolences and big hugs to your family.

Dear Melissa and Oliva, I'm so at a loss as to what to even say about Jeff. I'm so sorry he had to leave this earth so soon, without much notice and preparation. I'm sending you my love and my support and my total condolences as you process everything. Your faith, your love, your belief in God Almighty will see you both through this, and you will feel Jeff's presence in many many ways, in many moments at different times. May he live on in all of our memories. I just send you love and friendship at this very trying time. Love, Caroline and Stewart Stone p.s. thank you Melissa and Jeff for coming to our wedding 13 years ago~!

Melissa & Olivia,

My sincerest thoughts, prayers, and words of sympathy go out to you. Jeff left us to early, but while he was with us, he was truly an awesome man. I enjoyed knowing him from church and he was always pleasant, kind, and outgoing. I know you will really miss him. He is in God's hands.

Again our warm feelings and thoughts to you.

Your friends,

Merrick & Barbara Wells
