POCATELLO- Greg Austin Merrill, 62, passed away on Feb. 27, 2011, at the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls, Idaho. He was born Sept. 30, 1949, in Preston, Idaho, the son of Clarence Perry and Velda Johnson Merrill.
He grew up in the "Johnsonville" area near Preston, Idaho and always spoke fondly of his memories there. He attended Ricks College on a wrestling scholarship and continued his education at Boise State University and Idaho State University.
He enjoyed racing cars, motorcycles, snowmobiling, boating, water skiing, rock hunting and lapidary, repairing cars, welding, scuba diving, boxing and wrestling. He had a great love for his cats. He took good care of his home and garden in Pocatello.

Greg lived the last decade of his life as a paraplegic with some greatly appreciated, yet seldom recognized help from neighbors, caregivers and family members.
He was very proud of his surviving children, Jason Merrill of California; Melissa Jacks of Nevada; Darrick Merrill of California; ShaLayne (Nick) Hill of Idaho.
