Gregory "Greg" Thull

Gregory John Thull, known as Greg to his family and friends, passed away peacefully from stroke complications at CHI Kearney, Nebraska on September 26, 2025, with his wife Abbey by his side. Greg was born on December 16, 1973, in Beloit, Kansas to Calvin and Joyce (Brokaw) Thull. He spent his early years in Cawker City and graduated high school with the class of 1993, before moving to Beloit where he worked at the Solomon Valley lumber yard. Eventually he moved to Kearney where he dedicated many years to Builders. During that time he met Abbey and they lived in Axtell, before choosing to call Minden home. In his later years, Greg was at home on disability, spending cherished time with Abbey, and helping with the daycare kids. Greg and Abbey were married on September 5, 2009 in a beautiful backyard ceremony. Through this marriage he gained two daughters, and together, they welcomed three sons. Family was everything to Greg. He was a hands-on-dad, who despite being in constant pain, loved teaching his kids how to build, play catch, and share his playful love of scaring people. Coaching and supporting them brought him great joy. Greg’s love for Abbey was unwavering - he especially adored her cooking, with her apple pie holding a special place in his heart. Whether it was working on home projects, manning the grill, or simply enjoying a night at home, Greg always put his family first. Greg also had a deep love for sports. You’d rarely see him without a Cubs, Chiefs, Huskers, Jayhawks or Whippet shirt on. Cheering on his teams and sharing that excitement with friends and family was one of his favorite things to do. Greg is survived by his wife Abbey; daughters Maddie & Hannah; sons Gage, Brax & Tucker; and his beloved dog Maple. He is also survived by his mother-in-law Jan Popple; sisters-in-law Blair (Cole) Peterson, Mariah (Kel) Knehans; brothers-in-law Dylan (Ashton) Popple and Addison (Amy) Popple. Father-in-law Steve Popple. He leaves behind his sisters Trish (Mark) Bonifas; Missy (Glen) Allen; Cindi Withrow; and brother Randy (Cheryl) Thull, and many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and close friends who loved him dearly. A Celebration of Greg’s life will be held on October 3, 2025 at 2:00 pm at Bethany Lutheran Church in Minden, NE. There will be no visitation and a private burial will take place at a later date. In honor of Greg’s memory and love for his family, a college fund has been created for his sons. Condolences may be shared online at www.osrfh.com. Services are entrusted to O’Brien Straatmann Redinger Funeral and Cremation Services.
