Greg Allen Minor, age 72, died peacefully in his sleep at his apartment in Crescent City, CA. Greg was born to Allen Steele Minor and Ruth Adena Minor in Burbank, CA. Greg spent his childhood in the San Fernando Valley until moving with his family to the SF Bay Area (Cupertino) in 1964. After graduating from high school in 1969, Greg took several courses at nearby De Anza Community College, focusing on art, humanities, and photography. In the early-mid 70s Greg heard the call to join a commune in Berkeley to explore alternative philosophical and spiritual perspectives on life. After his communal experience, he worked a variety of different jobs over the next 30 years, including as a security guard and delivery courier. In 1982, Greg moved back into the family home in Cupertino, where he lived for the next 35 years. At the age of 40, Greg was diagnosed with diabetes, a major setback that adversely affected him for the rest of his adult life. He worked his final job of 10+ years at Enterprise Car Rental, where he was a car detailer and driver. Greg assisted Allen, whose health was declining, until Allen moved into a care facility. Desiring to get away from the traffic, crowds, summer heat, and expense of the Bay Area, and live on the coast, Greg retired in 2017 and moved to Crescent City. Despite his recent declining health due to diabetes, Greg’s happiest years of his life were spent there, where he enjoyed walking along the shore, breathing in the cool sea air, and gazing from his apartment at the winter storm waves crashing into the pier in the harbor as the gale-driven rains pelted his window. Greg will be missed and remembered by family and friends for his laugh and smile.Greg was preceded in death by his parents and survived by his sister Linda Morris (Michael), brother Scott Minor (Kathleen), one niece, 4 nephews, and their families.A memorial-celebration of Greg’s life will take place on Friday, September 8, 2023, at the B-Street Pier at 2:00 pm in Crescent City, followed by a gathering at nearby SeaQuake Brewing Co. at 3:00 pm, where Greg spent many happy hours and made new friends.
