Greg Harding, 69

| October 4, 2021 8:30 AM

Warren Greg Harding (Greg), 69, of Polson passed away Thursday, Sept. 30, 2021, at his home while surrounded by his loving family.

He was born Nov. 7, 1951, in Billings, the son of Warren G. and Ethel Marie (Israel) Harding. He moved to Polson with his parents at a young age and attended Polson schools, graduating in 1970. He then attended Northwest Nazarene University in Nampa, Idaho for a time. He married Kim Reimer on June 29, 1975, in Whitefish, and they lived in Anchorage, Alaska, for two years, after which they moved to Pablo and later to Ronan in 1983.

Greg owned Mission Valley Concrete and Harding Redi Mix. He was a man of great character who operated his businesses with honesty and integrity. Raising cattle was also an important and enjoyable part of his life. He enjoyed big game hunting, riding horses in the Bob Marshall Wilderness, and playing pinochle and cribbage, but the joy of his life was his family, to whom he was deeply devoted.

Greg was a faithful active member of the Pablo Church of the Nazarene and was a proud supporter of the booster club at Ronan High School, where his kids all attended school.

He is survived by his wife, Kim Harding of Polson; four children: Jayme Lenker (Keegan) of Gig Harbor, Wash.; Tyler Harding (Katie) of Nampa; Jenna Harding of Moses Lake, Wash.; and Trenton Harding (Katie) of Pablo. He is also survived by eight grandchildren: Joncee, Kaizlee, Tatum, Colton, Hudson, Daniel, Warren and Hendrix.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Warren and Ethel Harding; his sister Lana Clare Harding; and by his infant son, Ryan Greg Harding.

A celebration of life will be held at 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 9, 2021, outdoors on the family property at 33495 Spring Creek Road, Ronan, with Rev. Keegan Lenker officiating. The family is asking attendants to bring a chair and wear Griz or Seahawks gear (or any sports apparel.) Dinner will be served after the service.

The family would like to suggest donations in his honor by donating to Nazarene Compassion International (Economic Development in world countries) https://give.nazarene.org/donate/f/123887.
