The Dobbs’ family is heartbroken to announce that Greg passed away unexpectedly on September 12, 2024 in Delano, MN where he resided with his wife Tracey.  Greg was born in Wichita, KS, graduated from Campus High School in 1983 and Friends University in 1988.

In 2004 Greg married the love of his life, Tracey Dobbs. During their marriage Greg and Tracey lived in Omaha, NE, Hopkinton, MA and Delano, MN, with Minnesota becoming their home for over 16 years.

When he lived in Massachusetts he worked as a Senior Security Engineer managing projects across the world, including the Taunton Courthouse in MA and resorts in UAE and Oman.
