Hal Gene Greve, 62, passed away July 4, 2023 at Patterson Health Center.

Survivors include his wife, Sheryl; sons, Austin Greve, wife Kaitlyn, and their children Collins, Walker, and Banks; and Tanner Greve, wife Heidi, and their daughters, Piper and Sadie; brother, Dickey Joe Greve and wife Leigh Ann; uncle, Bob Greve and wife, Donna; as well as numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Hal Gene Greve was born in Attica, Kansas on February 23, 1961, to parents, William H. "Bill" Greve and Donna Mae (Dickey) Greve. He graduated from Chaparral High School with the class of 1979. He then attended Garden City Community College and Oklahoma State University.

On July 27, 1985, Hal married Sheryl LeValley in Braman, Oklahoma and they settled near Anthony, Kansas.

Growing up on a farm near Freeport, Kansas, farming was in Hal's blood. His favorite part of farming was undoubtedly operating a combine during wheat harvest and he would often talk about the good old days of custom harvesting with Bill and Donna when he was a kid. After college (*convincing Sheryl to marry him) he returned home to farm with his dad, Bill and brother, Dickey Joe near Freeport, Kansas. In 1995, he chose to follow another passion of his by opening his own photography studio in downtown Anthony, Hal's Photography. In 2012, Hal and Sheryl opened Dough Daddy Daylight Donuts in Anthony. Those close to him were suspect of this idea as they knew he could barely microwave a pop tart let alone make a donut, but Hal said, "I may not know how to make a donut but I can follow instructions and that's all you have to do" and do is what they did up until the time he started dialysis.

Hal was a social person and enjoyed people of all ages, he never met a stranger and was frequently found downtown visiting with someone or talking on the phone to one of his many buddies. Most of all he loved spending time with family, especially his grandchildren. Giving his grandkids rides on his scooter was always a highlight of his day, especially if it was a slight inconvenience for their parents.
