Gregory Higgins

Gregory D. Higgins passed away Saturday, June 29, 2019 at St. Luke’s Medical Center in Boise after having a cardiac arrest while vacationing in McCall with family. He was born December 11, 1944 to Frank and Edna Higgins of Winona. He attended elementary school at Big Butte School House in Winona, then graduated from Kamiah High School in 1963. He attended LCSC and University of Idaho and then started farming with his father in the Winona area in 1967. He married his high school sweetheart, Sue Snyder, in 1966 in Kamiah. Together they continued to farm until his retirement in 2006, at which time he became a certified crop adjuster. He enjoyed the work and the interactions with other farmers in several states. It was no secret who Greg was or what he loved. His life was a mirror reflection of that. He loved living in Idaho, being a farmer, working with his cows, being a son, a brother, a husband, a dad, and Pop-Pop to his eleven grandchildren. His days unfolded just as he wanted: under the blue skies, surrounded by a family who loved him dearly, a wife who took care of him and spoiled him with good cooking, and planted in a community of wheat fields and loving friends wherever he went. The world has lost a precious soul. He is survived by his wife, Sue, of Orofino; 2 sons: Bryan Higgins of Winona (Becky), Brad Higgins of Cottonwood (Cindy); 2 daughters: Kati Haeder of Moscow (Tom) and Lenne Bonner of Orofino (Bo), a brother, Doug Higgins of Clarkston (Charlotte). He has 11 grandchildren and 1 great grandson. He is preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Edna Higgins, and his sister, Janice Higgins. To our beloved husband, father and grandpa….you will be forever missed. Memorials may be made in Greg’s name to St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place Memphis, TN 38105 or a charity of your choice. *Please see "Service Information" tab for service details. *
