It is with heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of our father, grandfather, son and brother Greg Kress on June 29th, 2017. He was born in Kenora on October 29, 1960 where he lived most of his life.
Greg was survived by his son Dylan (Lexee) and the love of his life, granddaughter Charlee. He was deeply loved by his parents Vic and Eileen Kress, sisters Vicki Neufeld (James) and Lori Katz (Alan) and brother Ken Kress (Kathie). Also by his nieces and nephews Cindy, Becky, Jodi (Pete), Nathan (Jacki), Jake, Josh (Ashley), Leah, Ben and their children Christina, Marcus, Annah, Maria, Daxtyn and Adalyn. They all thought the world of their “Uncle Greg”. He was predeceased by his sister Christina who was waiting for him the moment he entered heaven.
Greg, alias “Ned”, had the greatest sense of humor and was notorious for his quick wit and uniqueness. He cherished his great friends who have memories filled with laughter and a lot of good times with him.
Over the years, Greg had developed many interests. He loved his motorcycles, cars and mountain biking. He enjoyed fishing, gardening, collecting and was always researching and learning all he could. Greg had a passion for computers and playing WOW with all his gaming community friends from all around the world. His love of dogs and training them was another big part of his life especially his favorite companion Comet.
Greg’s pride and joy was his son Dylan and little Charlee. He couldn’t be happier spending time with them and being such an important part of their lives. They were able to enjoy many trips to the mountains, fishing, biking and Charlee just loved jumping on his belly. All his family will miss him so much.
Special thanks to the paramedics, police, Dr. Wiebe and the emergency staff who tried their hardest.
A service will be held on Tuesday, July 11th at 11:00 am at Brown Funeral Home & Cremation Centre. Cremation has taken place. Donations in Greg’s memory may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or It’s a Dog’s Life.
