Gregory Paul Field

Gregory Paul Field passed away on December 7th, 2024 at the age of 69 from complications related to Leukemia. Greg was surrounded by his loving family, who will carry on his legacy by appreciating the joys of close-knit family, the fun of good company, the beauty of the natural world, and the delights of life’s simple pleasures. Greg was born in Detroit, MI to his devoted parents Eugene C. and Mary M. (Gretz) Field and was also raised by his stepmother, Hazel (Lockridge) Field, following Mary’s death. Greg was the youngest of four children, and his memory will be celebrated by his siblings Ronald, Barbara (Field) Dzwonkowski, and Douglas. Greg spent most of his adult life in Imlay City, MI before retiring to Grayling, MI in the summers and Kingman, AZ in the winters. Greg always had a strong zest for life. In his younger years, he was a tournament-winning team roper, a passionate horse rider, an avid car enthusiast who loved his ’68 Camaro, and a martial arts fan with fondness for films featuring Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee. Greg spent his career working as a carpenter, including 33 years with Chrysler Corp., as well as completing countless projects for family and friends. Regarded as warm, friendly, and open – while displaying a sharp wit – Greg always had countless friends and acquaintances stopping by to chat, enjoy his company, and play card games while listening to country music. Greg was an avid boater, hiker, cyclist, fisherman, and all-around outdoor enthusiast who knew the value of assembling loved ones around a great fire. Greg is survived by his loving family, including his wife Julie (Haberfield) Field. Greg and Julie married in 1993 after bonding over their love of water sports and the outdoors, and their love grew to encompass the splendor of working with horses. Greg is also survived by five children, including Jason, Timothy, Matthew, Laurie (Salaber), and Angela (Morgan), as well as 12 grandchildren with another expected in June 2025. Greg will be loved and missed forever by his family and friends, and we invite you to join us to celebrate his life. Memorial services for family and friends will be held at the direction of Wujek-Calcaterra & Sons, located at 54880 Van Dyke Ave in Shelby Township, MI on December 14th, 2024 between 10am and 12pm ET, with a prayer service from 12pm to 12:30pm ET, followed by a luncheon. As those who knew Greg will appreciate, among the only things he hated were suits and dress shoes, and one could always find him adorned in a ball cap and button-down. In that spirit, we ask attendees to dress to be as comfortable as he would no doubt want you to. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating blood or donating to the American Red Cross. As Greg underwent numerous blood transfusions during his two bouts with Leukemia, he was awed by the generosity of those who made his treatment possible.
