Gregory Orsborn

Gregory Dale Orsborn, 51, of Middleton, died Monday, June 10, 2013 at home.

"I don't ask  for much, I only want trust".  For all of his simplicity, Greg was the most complicated person there was, often misunderstood but was one of the most loving, genuine fellows you'd ever meet, always taking time for others.  Greg had a deep compassion for children and the elderly.  He despised injustice, bullies, phoniness, and earwigs.  Greg would argue with a passion, but even though he thought your opinion was faulty he always loved you.

He was generous to a fault.  His friends and family were first in his life.  Greg served 4 years in the US Navy, USS Ranger and excelled in the  Naval Air Crewman Survival School.  Later in life he rescued several people from drowning at Lowman and Cascade Lake.

Greg worked hard for many years in landscaping and in the HVAC industry.  He faithfully kept his mom and dad's acreage well groomed for several years until his health deteriorated.

Greg was loved by all and will be missed immensely.  His best buddy and mentor for 32 years was Derald, who Greg respected and loved.

Survivors include his mother, Theda Downing, Middleton, ID;  brother, Dennis Orsborn (Chris), Laveen, AZ; sister, Julia Meyers (Wayne), Cheney, WA;  and his birth father, Jerry Orsborn, (Karen), Meridian, ID;  and his sister, Rachel Orsborn Gordon, (Nathan), Meridian; many nieces and nephews, and special nephew and caregiver, Gabriel Orsborn.  He is preceded in death by a sister, Merianne Widman, (Bob), and his dad, Derald Downing.


At Greg's request no services will be held.  Cremation is under the direction of the Alden-Waggoner Funeral Chapel.
