Greg was born in Huron, South Dakota, on March 4, 1953, to Bill and Mary (Marsh) Eining.  Greg was baptized, confirmed and a member of the St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Iroquois, South Dakota.  Greg attended and graduated from Iroquois High School.  

Greg had a love for the outdoors at a young age, and this carried on throughout his life.  He enjoyed gardening, raising a large garden every year. His neighbors also appreciated Greg’s garden as he would leave bags of his produce on their doorsteps all throughout harvest.  Greg loved to fish, play cards, and visit with his neighbors. 

He had a very special place in his heart for his nieces and nephews, showering them with love and way too much candy over the holidays.

He had various jobs and trades throughout his life.  He really enjoyed working with his hands  as a “jack of all trades”.  Greg enjoyed roofing, carpentry, and trucking but his favorite job was being a part of his brother-in-law’s farming operation over the last 15 years.  Greg was always talking about farming, crops and cattle with his family and friends. 

Blessed to have shared in Greg’s life are his siblings: Bill (Janice) Eining, Huron, Sandi (Marlen) Winter, St. Lawrence, Sharon (Bruce Heitman) Eining, Sioux Falls, Traci (Bryan) Flanigan, Urbandale, Iowa, Steve Eining, Brookings, Joe Eining, Dell Rapids, Keith (Jodie) Eining, Dell Rapids, Lori (Jamie) Reetz, Webster; sister-in-law, Becky Eining, Sommerset; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. 

Greg was preceded in death by his parents: Bill and Mary; grandparents: Ed and Alice Eining, Neil Francis, Hazel, and Laurena Marsh; brother, Kim Eining; and nephew, Jeremiah Eining. 

Reck Funeral Home of Miller has been entrusted with Greg's arrangements.
