Gregory McDonald Obituary

Gregory Travis McDonald passed away on April 27, 2021, peacefully in his sleep. Greg was a fantastic son, brother, uncle, and friend. He was raised in Glendale, CA and attended Glenoaks Elementary, Wilson Junior High, and Glendale High School. He later attended Glendale College and The University of Redlands. He moved East and spent years working for Costco in various locations in New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, and Georgia. He then settled in Naples, FL near his sister, Kim, where he spent 13 years working as a manager at that location. Greg returned to CA and resided in Glendora, CA where he was surrounded by his sisters. He continued to work for Costco and was presently employed at the Costco Depot in Mira Loma. Greg was a caring and considerate person who loved to spend his summers vacationing in Tahoe and camping anywhere. Greg leaves behind many friends and co-workers from his career at Costco, many with whom he still connected, even though he no longer resided in their area. He is survived by his mother, Sharon and stepfather Howard Martin, his three sisters, Kimberley Panarelli, Darcy Ross, Wendy Stewart, and their families, stepmother Esther McDonald and stepsisters, Julie Edwards, and Kara Michaelsen. Greg will be deeply missed and is the type of friend a person would aspire to have in their life. His life was celebrated in May 2021 and a family burial will occur in June 2021.
