Gregory Jay Maxwell

Gregory (Greg) Maxwell was born August 1, 1946 in Alamosa, Colorado to Jay and Susie Grace Maxwell and passed away peacefully in his home on September 13, 2022. He grew up in Alamosa, Colorado 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 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. Passing his CPA boards the first time around, Greg made his home in Grand Junction, Colorado working in accounting and independent tax accounting up until his death. He enjoyed spending time with friends, sharing a cup of coffee or a meal, sport events and "well known" at the public library as he loved to read. He especially enjoyed trips to Denver to spend with a special friend plus 20 years Vicki Lockhart.

Greg was preceded in death by his parents, and his brother James (Jim). Left to cherish his memories are his devoted friend Vicki, Aunt Reba Maxwell of Villisca, Iowa and many cousins.

Grand Valley Funeral in Grand Junction and Rogers Funeral in Alamosa are in charge of arrangements. Private burial will be held at the Alamosa Cemetery at a later date to be laid to rest beside his parents.
