Greg Abraham

Gregory Anthony “Abe” Abraham, of Howell, passed away February 16, 2020 surrounded by his family. Greg was born on May 22, 1963 in Detroit, Michigan. Greg retired from the Livonia Police Department where he worked for twenty-five years. In his life, Greg enjoyed hunting, fishing, baseball (especially the Cubs), boating on the Great Lakes, spending time up north, especially Pentwater MI and Tobermory Canada, star gazing, looking at the moon, watching and listening to storms, scuba diving and the thrill of a chase. Greg was a handyman who could build or do anything and was truly “everybody’s friend”. But, above all else, Greg loved spending time with his family, friends, and dog, that he loved so much.

Greg is preceded in death by his sister Shawn, but is survived by his parents; Gary and Sandra Abraham, his wife, Andrea Abraham (nee Edoff) ; son, August Abraham; daughter, Josie Abraham; sisters Kelly Abraham-McKinley (Andrew) and Terra Abraham-Nolan (Christy). Greg was known as “Uncle Boggie” to his nieces and nephews, Shawn, Liam, Aidan, Quinn and Lilly.
