Gregory Wiley Wiggins
1963 - 2014
Continuing his life-long pattern of disappearing unexpectedly in order to annoy his sisters, Greg quietly passed away of natural causes earlier this month.
From the first and for always, he is the cherished son of Dillard (deceased) and Sue Wiggins of Boise and the adored--and pestered--baby brother of three nagging sisters: Debra Childress (Aurora, CO), Teresa Wilson (Bonner Springs, KS), and Dolly Higgins (Boise). Greg was always good-natured, curious, and deep thinking, showing a wonderful, quirky sense of humor from the start. As an Air Force brat, Greg moved frequently with his family, but he quickly found friends and the best fishing hole wherever he landed.
An unhurried conversationalist with a quick mind, Greg excelled in school, graduating at the top of his class from Harrison High School in Colorado Springs and receiving a scholarship to study Chemical Engineering at the School of Mines in Colorado. After serving in the Army's Chemical Warfare division from 1987 - 1988, Greg traveled and worked in a variety of fields before returning to school, receiving his M.A. in Economics from the University of Colorado. Eventually, Greg moved to Boise in 2003 to be closer to family. He loved this city--the friendly, down-to-earth people, the music, and the river. "Wiggie" made many friends in his work and his strolls through downtown. He was accepting to all, a loyal and true friend who shared generously and loved well. As his youngest niece once said, "He was born to be an uncle--he was our perfect Uncle Greggie." His 10 nieces and nephews, along with their families, will keep Greg's memory close, as will Greg's own Uncle Mike, Aunt Sydney, and Aunt Ramona. Together with Mama, Debbie, T, and Dolly, we all say: "Miss you, Greg, and love you most!"
(But we know you're with Daddy, grinning as you reply: "So long, and thanks for all the fish.")
Greg would want you to remember him with music, laughter, and an irreverent joke, as well as a donation to the Idaho Food Bank or the Mountain States Children's Home, Longmont, CO.
