Greg Newbury

Gregory Ellis Newbury passed away with his family by his side at Mercy One in Des Moines June 19, 2022. Greg was born September 5, 1961 in Greenfield, IA where he grew up and raised his family.

Greg graduated from Greenfield High School in 1980. After high school, Greg began working at Schildberg Construction Company in 1986 where he spent his career as the materials inspector.

Greg married Tina (Carter) in Tulsa, Oklahoma May 28, 1988. After their marriage, they spent eight years in Atlantic, Iowa where Nick and Max were born. In 1997, they moved back to Greenfield.

He was an avid outdoorsman enjoying fishing, boating, and camping. He’d been known to float down rivers chasing coolers of beer. He loved riding his Harley, mushroom hunting, listening to music, cooking, and having a good fish fry. He loved to read, watch movies, and he had a great hat collection. Greg loved his grand dog, Gremlin. Greg was an amazing family man with the most compassionate heart towards others and he had an exceptional faith in Jesus Christ. Everyone who met Greg knew that he had a calm and loving demeanor. They gravitated toward his kind, gentle spirit.  He enjoyed hanging out with his friends and will now be able to continue his Friday night drives with his best friend, Mike Wessel.
