Joseph Ernest Greyzck's Obituary
Joseph Ernest Greyzck – Remus, MI
Joseph Ernest Greyzck, born June 16, 1946, left this world unexpectedly on January 30,
2024. The cherished son of Joseph Stanley and Maryann (Lange) Greyzck, Joe was an
only child. He graduated from Airport High School in Carleton, Michigan, and
immediately enlisted in the Navy, where he courageously served his country during the
Vietnam War. Wounded during his service, Joe's resilience shone through as he built a
family upon returning. He married and became the loving father of two daughters, Mary
and Amy. Later in life, he worked for DT&I on the railroad, dedicating many years as a
skilled railroad engineer until his well-deserved retirement.
Joe was an accomplished arrowhead hunter and an artist renowned for his intricate
carvings and moniker. His green thumb found joy in gardening, tending to vibrant
flowers in his cherished garden. A generous and artistic soul, he was known for his
talent and creativity.
In his leisure, Joseph indulged in photography, hunting, and fishing, finding solace in the
great outdoors. A dedicated member of the Flat Rock VFW, he forged connections with
fellow veterans.
Joseph embodied the ethos of working hard and playing hard, leaving behind a legacy
of strength, creativity, and warmth.
Left to cherish his memory are his daughters, Mary Greyzck and Amy (Jeff) Karwick;
grandchildren, Trent, Greyzck, Katelyn Karwick, and many nieces, nephews and close
friends. He was preceded in death by his parents.
A graveside service will be held Saturday, February 3, 2024 at 11:00am at Wambolt
Cemetery in Remus. Pastor Richard Taylor will officiate with military honors to follow. A
celebration of his remarkable life will be held at a later date, where friends and family
will gather to honor and remember the indelible mark Joseph left on their lives.
