In Loving Memory of Gregory Brisboy

In Loving Memory of Gregory Brisboy

With heavy hearts and profound sadness, we remember and honor the life of Gregory Brisboy, whose passing has left a deep and lasting sorrow in the hearts of his family, friends, and the community of Edmore, Michigan. Gregory’s life, though now ended, was one marked by presence, connection, and the quiet significance that every person brings into the world simply by being here.

Gregory Brisboy, 59, was reported missing over the weekend after loved ones became concerned when they had not heard from him for more than 24 hours. He was last known to have left his home near northeast Cutler Road on foot, without his shoes, wallet, or cellphone—details that only heightened the worry and urgency felt by those who cared about him. Michigan State Police issued a missing persons notice, and efforts were made to locate him and ensure his safety.

Tragically, law enforcement later confirmed that Gregory had been found deceased near his residence. While the investigation into the circumstances of his passing is ongoing, authorities have stated that his death is not believed to be suspicious, and that the circumstances are consistent with exposure to the elements. The news has brought a wave of grief, shock, and reflection to those who knew him, as well as to those who came to learn his story through this heartbreaking event.

Gregory’s life was more than the final moments that led to this tragic outcome. He was a son, a family member, a friend, and a neighbor—someone whose presence mattered, whose voice carried meaning, and whose experiences formed a lifetime of memories. Though many details of his personal journey may be known only to those closest to him, what remains undeniable is that his life had value, and his absence leaves a space that cannot be easily filled.

In moments like these, we are reminded of how fragile life can be, and how quickly ordinary days can turn into days of mourning. Gregory’s passing underscores the importance of community, compassion, and checking in on one another—especially when someone may be struggling or facing difficult moments alone. It also reminds us of the quiet battles many people endure, often unseen, and the importance of extending kindness, understanding, and support whenever possible.

To Gregory’s family and loved ones, words can never fully ease the pain of loss. May you find comfort in the memories you shared, in the stories, laughter, and moments that defined his life. May those memories become a source of strength in the days ahead, and may you feel surrounded by care, sympathy, and love during this difficult time.

Rest in peace, Gregory Brisboy. You are remembered, you are missed, and your life will not be forgotten. Your story is now part of the community’s collective memory, and your legacy lives on in the hearts of those who knew and loved you.
