Gregory “Greg” Jay
Maxwell passed away
peacefully in his home
on September 13, 2022.
Greg was born on August
1, 1946, in Alamosa,
Colorado to Jay and Susie
Grace Maxell. Greg grew up in Alamosa and graduated
from high school in 1964. As a boy he enjoyed family
vacations to S.W. Iowa to visit his grandparents, aunts,
uncles, and cousins on the family farm where his father
was raised.
Greg joined the Navy in 1968, and he was stationed in
the Philippines, Japan, Hawaii, and Vietnam. Relieved
of active duty in 1970, he continued with the Navy
Reserves until his honorable discharge in 1974. Greg
attended Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction,
graduating in 1976 with a Bachelor of Science degree.
Scoring in the 97th percentile in his accounting class,
he received a scholarship to the University of Denver.
Obtaining his CPA license the first time around, Greg
made his home in Grand Junction working in accounting
and independent tax accounting up until his death.
He enjoyed spending his time with friends sharing
a cup of coffee or a meal, special events, and he was
well known at the public library as he loved to read. He
especially enjoyed trips to Denver to spend time with
a special friend of twenty plus years, Vicki Lockhart.
Greg is survived by his devoted friend Vicki, Aunt Reba
Maxwell, and many cousins left to cherish his memories.
He is preceded in death by his parents and his brother,
James “Jim”. Greg will be laid to rest besides his parents
at the Alamosa Cemetery. No service is scheduled at
this time.
