Greg was born to Joe and Betty Gurley on January 14, 1964, in Folsom, California. The family moved to Alaska in 1973, settling in Chugiak.

Following the Army, Greg started his 33-year career in the Electrical Industry, working for Homer Electric, Matanuska Electric, and Chugach Electric as a Design Engineer for the past 19 years.

Greg grew up in Alaska and had a life-long passion for fishing, hunting, ATV’s, snowmachining, vacationing, and deep-sea fishing in Mexico. He was well known for his love of family, veterans, dogs, and kids. He was a generous and kind man with a great sense of humor, was always the life of the party, and man who never met a stranger. Greg will be deeply missed by those who knew him.
