Gregory Craig
Aronson
Feb 27, 1948 — Jun 18, 2024
Our beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend Gregory (Greg) Aronson was called home on June 18, 2024 after fighting a long battle with Alzheimer's.
Greg was born in Spokane on February 27, 1948 to Millie and Walt Aronson. He attended school in Spokane where he met his high school sweetheart, Sharleen Mills, whom he later married. They settled on the South Hills of Spokane and had two boys. Greg graduated from baking school and worked in the bakery at Safeway for over 35 years before retiring. After losing Shar to cancer, Greg was blessed to find and marry his second love, Sandy. She introduced him to her passion for art and you could find them traveling and enjoying nature. Greg always had his camera in hand while Sandy painted. His photos and unique viewpoints often provided Sandy with inspirations for her paintings. His eyes would light up when he talked about her artwork.
Greg is preceded in death by his first wife of 35 years, Shar Aronson and his parents. He is survived by his second wife, Sandy Aronson (Upchurch), his two sons, Mike (Lori) Aronson and Tracy (Jeanette) Aronson. His five grandsons Patrick, Brendan, Cain, Daniel and Robert and his great grandson Jude. Greg is also survived by his brother Jeff Aronson and many other family members and friends.
He enjoyed spending time at his house on Deer Lake where he spent many happy hours fishing, taking friends and family on boat rides of the lake, sitting on the front porch enjoying the deer, birds, squirrels and turtles that would pass through his property. When he wasn't at the lake, you could find him in front of his many computers sorting and sending photos to all of his loved ones. His love of electronics and "Big" T.V. made his home a popular hot spot for the Gonzaga Basketball games and Seahawks football!
Greg's family members are grateful to the many caregivers who cared for him like family. Greg found love in his last few months of life from the staff and residents at Cherry Creek Adult home. The level of care and love provided to him and his family by the staff will never be forgotten. We would like to thank them for the thoughtful surprises of chocolate milkshakes, French fries and their playing/ singing along to his favorite Beatles songs.
Pending services will be held in Spokane.
