Gregory Marvin Skinner, Sr., a true outdoorsman, was welcomed home to his maker on November 16, 2019.  Greg was born in Minneapolis, MN to Marvin and Marlene (Haigh) Skinner on August 16, 1956.  He attended school in Minneapolis and in Huron, SD.  He enlisted in the Army in 1974 and was discharged in 1976.  In 1976, he married Lynnett Erickson and to this union two children were born, Heather and Gregory, Jr.

Greg was employed at many different professions during his life.  He truly was a jack of all trades.  Due to health issues he was no longer able to participate in his true passions, hunting, fishing and cooking.  It is telling that he passed on opening day of deer season.  In 1998, he married Debra Faust.

He was preceded in death by his daughter, Heather; father, Marvin Skinner; mother, Marlene Koch; step-father, Ivan Koch.

Those he leaves to mourn his passing, his son, Gregory, Jr.; stepson, David; six grandchildren, Shay, Jorey, Erik, Jaiden, Jace and Journey; three stepsons, Justin, Robert and Josh; many step grandchildren; sister, Terry (Mark) Woods; niece, Jess Lemon; nephew, Mark Lemon; special care giver, Pearl Gale; and many friends.
