RONALD A GREGG

Heaven got a good one on April 22, 2020!

Ronald Allen Gregg, 60, died on Wednesday, April 22, 2020 at Libby Care Center. He was born in San Antonio, Texas on September 23, 1959 to Phyllis and Larry Gregg. Ronnie spent many years at Boulder River School which he referred to as Cottage 12. He moved to Libby, Montana in April of 1977 and joined the Huntsberger family. He attended Libby Junior High for one year and was fond of his teacher, Joe Masolo. Ronnie would frequently entertain the school with his gymnastics.

He worked at the Lincoln County Sheltered Workshop, later called Achievements as a janitor, silk screener, librarian, and can crusher. He made many wonderful friends at Achievements. He was also proud of the fact that he was the #1 dishwasher at Pizza Hut for 15 years. Ronnie was well known around Libby and attended many events. He loved his $5 walking around money. It was not unusual to see Ronnie plugging in his BoomBox to dance and to sing wherever he could find an outlet. He liked bowling and was a gold medal winner in Special Olympics. He also enjoyed going to dinners at the Senior Center.

Ronnie loved the Libby Loggers and was always ready to lead the Logger cheer. He was a Montana Grizzly fan as well. Ronnie never met a stranger and he was always the life of the party. Ronnie had many nicknames including Rocketman, Ronnie ball game, the Batman, and Greggy.

Ronnie was preceded in death by his biological father, Larry. He is survived by his mother Phyllis, brothers David, Robin, and Scott and sisters Tina and Terry along with many nieces and nephews.

Ronnie is also survived by the Huntsberger family, Kate and Gary Huntsberger; Heidi, Tory, Colin, and Gavin Blackwell; Andy, Holly, and Sean Huntsberger; Vince, Amelia, Luke, Alina, and Levi Huntsberger; Jolene, Drew, Kaleb, and Elijah Leeper.

We are grateful for the way the community of Libby embraced Ronnie, he gave us more than he could have ever taken.

Ronnie's life was made better in later years by the care and love he received at Libby's Dialysis Lab and at Libby Care Center.

Ronnie loved country music. We imagine him in heaven with John Denver singing, “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”
