It is with great sadness that the family of Greg Allan Call announce his sudden passing on October 2, 2024, with a piece of pumpkin pie and his loving wife by his side. Greg was born on March 22, 1950, in Casper, Wyoming. At 1-day old Greg was adopted by his parents, Mother Clara “Jill” and Father Shirley “Cy” Call. Greg Spent his younger years in Wyoming and Kansas where he attended school and graduated with his high school diploma. Greg moved to Des Moines, Iowa in 1969. In 1982 Greg met Shannon. On June 1, 1985, Greg and Shannon married, bringing together a blended family of 7 children from previous relationships. Greg never used the term stepchildren; they were his sons, and he loved and treated them as he did his own.
To know Greg was to know his true country western style. You could always spot him in his black jeans, western belt with a nice belt buckle, a western shirt, and black boots. Greg was a jack of all trades, specializing in small engines. Beyond Greg’s love for tinkering, he enjoyed his morning coffee, his dogs Bubbles and Louie, his Harley, the outdoors, traveling, and being frugal, which his family would word as him being cheap. Everything had a recycled purpose, and nothing went to waste, especially his food! However, the one thing Greg loved, cherished, and prided himself in was his family, number one being his grandchildren. At any family gathering you could find Greg with the kids being a kid himself.
Left to cherish Greg’s memory are his loving wife of 43 years Shanon, daughter Wendy (Russell), sons Chad (Nicole), Brian (Carin), Donny (Melissa), Duke (Ann), Tracy (Wendy), and two bonus sons, Mark Hansen and Tommy Spurgin, 16 grandchildren, Jacob (Meadow), Jaida (Anthony), Maya, Lohna, Bubba, Shad (Shelby), Leana (Josh), Ostin, James, Caleb, Josh, Max, Keierra (Anthony), Cody (Allison), Lexy (Zachary) and James (Jac). 4 great-grandchildren, Denver, Amelia, Ava, and Cooper. 2 Sister-in-laws Sherrylynn (Chuck) Green, Tina (Byron) Loft. 1 Brother-in-law Howie (Keri) Burns. 11 nieces and nephews and so many more family and friends.
Preceded in death are Greg’s parents Clara “Jill” and Shirley “Cy”, and his 2 sons Shawn Call and Shad Howard.
A visitation will be held at Merle Hay Funeral home on October 8th at 4PM. A celebration of life will follow visitation starting at 6PM.
