Gregory Raymond Arntson, age 36, unexpectedly passed away at home on June 30, 2022. He was born February 11, 1986 to Len and Wendy Arntson.
He was a lifelong resident of Chelsea, MI. Greg attended Chelsea High School but ultimately graduated from Washtenaw Technical Middle College. He developed a passion for computers early in life, growing and cultivating that interest into a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Eastern Michigan University. His professional endeavors led him to work with several companies over the course of his career in the Ann Arbor area, ultimately spending the past six years with IBM.
Prior to his computer career, Greg spent a short time as a member of the United States Army. He proudly carried his Veteran Card and a flag patch in his wallet at all times. If Greg loved you, he loved you with his whole heart. He was a fiercely loyal friend and cherished every moment with his family. Nothing gave him more pride or joy than being called “Uncle” by his nieces and nephews. He spent many hours happily playing with his favorite people, and they will miss him dearly.
Greg is survived by his parents, sisters, Denise (Mike) Krey and Amanda (Matt) Fendt, nieces and nephews, Raylynn, Stellan, Wyatt, and Mara, as well as many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Raymond and Marjorie Dotts, and his paternal grandparents, Mabel and Erlyn Arntson, as well as beloved uncles, Richard and Ted Dotts.
Visitation will be held at the Staffan-Mitchell Funeral Home in Chelsea, MI on Wednesday, July 6, 2022 from 6-8 p.m. The family will also receive guests on Thursday, July 7, 2022 from 10:00 a.m. until the start of Greg’s Celebration of Life service at 11:00 a.m. Interment will be a private family service scheduled at a later date.
