Greg B. Hamm, 69 years of age, of Beatrice was received by his Heavenly Father April 2, 2023 at CHI Immanuel Hospital in Omaha, NE while surrounded by his family. Gregory was born March 6, 1954 at Benkelman, NE to Neil B. and Katherine S. (Zeller) Hamm, a son of eight children. He graduated from Beatrice High School in 1972 and began working for McCrory Headsted Stores. The company transferred him further from Nebraska so he resigned in 1976 to move back to Nebraska to be closer to his family. He held several jobs from 1976-1986 when he decided to further his education. He graduated from the University of Nebraska in Lincoln in 1989 with a Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Arts Technology. Greg began working for the state of Nebraska in 1998 and retired from BSDC in 2018.
Greg and Jacalyn Hamm-Sipley were married in April of 1976. To this union three children were born, Terrence, Crystal, and Jerrod. They later divorced in 2008.
Greg was a devout Catholic and had strong faith in God. Some of his activities that he enjoyed included hunting, fishing, camping, wood working, and riding motorcycles, especially with the Christian Motorcycle Association. But Greg especially enjoyed spending time with his children.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
