Gregory M Chaney
December 9, 1947 - August 2, 2024
Greg M Chaney, a beloved husband, father, and friend, passed away on August 2, 2024, at the age of 76. He was born on December 9, 1947, in Detroit, MI, and most recently resided in Taylor.
Greg had a zest for life and was known for his passions and hobbies. He enjoyed coin collecting and going to flea markets with his dear friend George. He had a deep appreciation for live music and could often be found enjoying bands in various venues.
Greg's love for his family and friends was unparalleled. He was a dedicated husband to his wife Rosalie for 45 years until her passing. He leaves behind two children, Ramona (David Stein) and Gregory Chaney (Michelle Snyder), who were deeply influenced by his love, strength, and compassion.
Greg had an adventurous spirit and a knack for building and creating things with his welding and fabricating skills. He was also a pack leader for the Boy Scouts of America and actively supported the Kennedy High School Band while his children attended.
Known for his friendly and sociable nature, Greg never met a stranger. He frequented Pete's Place in Taylor, where he quickly befriended many of the waitresses. He had an uncanny ability to inject humor into any situation with his silly observations and witty remarks. Greg's genuine interest in people's lives and his kindhearted nature endeared him to all who knew him.
While Greg enjoyed traveling and having new experiences, he had a special connection to Michigan, his favorite place in the world. He cherished the beauty of the changing seasons and believed there was no place quite like it.
In reflecting on his life, Greg lived by the motto, "If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life." He left a lasting impact on those around him, leaving behind cherished memories and his legacy of love and compassion.
Greg M Chaney will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. May he rest in eternal peace.
A memorial service to celebrate Greg's life will be held at Our Lady of Hope Cemetery on August 9th at 1:00. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the National Heart and Lung Association.
We will have a funeral in the mausoleum and invite those interested to go graveside with the family for his burial.
