Brian McGregor Obituary
September 21, 1962 - January 3, 2025
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing
of Brian Norval McGregor after a long illness.
Brian was born in Great Falls, MT. He was born badly crippled and it was believed he would never walk. Not only did Brian learn to walk and downhill ski, but also to skateboard, work as a finish carpenter, fix anything on a car, and generally enjoy life. He also worked as a long-haul trucker.
He moved from Great Falls, to Sacramento, CA and finally Yuma, AZ to be closer to family. He loved his dogs and took great joy in others.
Despite his limitations, Brian was generally good-humored and could laugh easily. He could also
be incredibly irritated and impatient. But given the
chronic pain and paralysis he lived with the past few
years, he did very well.
He is preceded in death by parents, Norval and Marilyn McGregor. He is survived by his brother, Scott McGregor (Denise); his sister, Bonnie McGregor; his step-son, Christopher McGregor (Zara); grandson, William; nephew, Ian Sticks McGregor; and his niece, Kriss McGregor.
While there is relief knowing he is no longer in pain, we will miss him greatly.
A Memorial Service will be held in Yuma on Sunday, March 30, 2025 at 5:30.
