In loving memory of
Gregory Jamie Feener
July 30, 1977 – December 26, 2022
The family of Greg Jamie Feener are saddened to announce his passing on December 26, 2022 in Fort McMurray, Alberta at the age of 45. Greg was born on July 30, 1977 in Corner Brook, NL to Arnold and Joy Feener. He grew up in NL and Ontario, where at the age of 12 he lost his mother to cancer. His family then moved back to NL. In 1998, at a chance meeting, he met his future wife, Janet. In 2000, Greg and Janet moved to Fort McMurray where they began to carve a life together and although they had no immediate family around, they made many lifelong friends that became family. He cherished each friendship he had.
Greg and Janet added to their family in 2014 when their son Jordan was born. Greg was a great father who enjoyed creating memories with his family to cherish.
Greg enjoyed a life filled with friends and family. His family spent a lot of time camping and enjoying the outdoors. He made many friends that became family. His favourite hockey team was the Colorado Avalanche and while he was undergoing surgery and recovery, he made sure to never miss a game and watched his team take home the cup.
In early 2022, Greg was diagnosed with a rare cancer and after surgery and treatment, the cancer spread and Greg lost his very courageous battle on December 26, 2022.
Left to mourn and remember fondly are his wife, Janet and son, Jordan; parents Arnold and Sharon Feener; brother Brian Feener (Dawn), sister in laws Jennifer Mills (Jason) and Jane Dean (Mike), mother/father in-law Jerry and Jean Thompson. Nieces and nephews Breanna, Taylor, Brayden, Julia, Jacob, Charlie and Elise. As well as a wide circle of family and friends.
Greg was predeceased by his mother, Joy.
Although you will be dearly missed, we know you are no longer suffering and at peace, in this we can take comfort.
Family is asking that in lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton or the Northern Lights Regional Health Care Center in Fort McMurray.
A Visitation will be held from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 29, 2022 at Fort McMurray Funeral Home, 225-B MacDonald Cres, Fort McMurray, Alberta.
Rest in peace sweet nephew will miss you dearly

My sweet, darling Gregory. I remember the day Aunt Joy brought you home from the hospital, that was the day my love for you began. I have countless precious memories of you throughout my lifetime that I will forever cherish. You were like a brother to me when I lived in Fort McMurray and the hardest thing about moving back to NL was saying goodbye to you. Never did I imagine today would be goodbye forever. I am so fortunate and grateful to have had you in my life. You will be dearly missed and forever you will live on in my heart.
Janet, my heart is completely broken for you and Jordan. You have been in my thoughts and prayers constantly. I am so sorry that you have to go through such sadness. I will be keeping you in my warmest thoughts as you navigate through this difficult time, and wishing you hope and healing.

I learned only yesterday of Greg’s passing. As one of his former teachers, I can only express my sincere sympathy to his family on this very sad occasion. I taught him in high school, but will never forget him. His determination to graduate is seen only in students with a zest to succeed in life. He was the type of student who any teacher looked forward to working with. I was very proud to work with this young man and remember him today as I did back in high school, especially the look on his face when he finished school. He obviously had a good life with his family and career, cut short by the dreaded cancer. His son will always be proud of a father dedicated to him. Rest in peace, Greg.
Janet & Jordan, we were very sorry to hear of Greg’s passing.
