My cousin's husband

Clinton Ray "Scrappy" Greer, our husband, father, son, brother, uncle and friend left this life on Tuesday, October 21st, 2008.

He was born in Springerville, Az. on October 29, 1975 to Benjamin Greer Sr. and Debi Greer. He graduated from St. Johns AZ High School in 1994. He later moved to Utah where he met the loves of his life, Deserie Lori Greer, and her daughter Kaylee Aitken. They were married on June 5th, 1999 and blessed with two more daughters, Bailey Nicole and Trenedy Jean. Their family was sealed in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple on September 27th, 2002.

He was welcomed to his heavenly home by a loving Heavenly Father, and by his earthly father Benjamin Greer Sr., who preceded him in death.

Clinton loved the outdoors. He walked many miles on open land with his girls and his brothers. He was an avid hunter and fisherman. He loved to play sports, and to compete. He loved to laugh, but even more, he loved to make others laugh. He had a big heart, and shared love and kindness with so many.

He is survived by his wife, Deserie Lori Greer and his girls Kaylee Aitken, Bailey and Trenedy. He is also survived by his mother Debi Greer-Walker, his step-father Henry Walker, his siblings: Tisa, BJ, Courtney and Daryl; grandmother: Verla Greer; grandfather, Clayton Bell; and by Desi's brothers: Trent, Travis and Deven Trafny. He leaves behind many aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces and friends.

Funeral services will be held Friday, October 24, 2008 at 11:00 a.m. in the Olpin Family Mortuary Chapel, 494 South 300 East, Pleasant Grove where friends may attend a viewing for Clinton one hour prior to services. Interment will be on Monday, October 27, 2008 in St. Johns, AZ.

What can I say. What words can express the pain that you feel from the loss of a loved one. Even though Desi and Scrappy struggled on so many levels and even though they isolated themselves from the family so many times, they were still part of our lives. Even if I hadn't seen him for months he always had a big smile and a big hug for me. I always thought I could be the one who could save them...if they'd only let me. Now I know that it was already beyond that point and now I will trust that mercy will be granted. I ache for my cousin...I ache for her girls. No matter what mistakes were made, they loved him. I hope they can find the peace they need to get through this.
