Kneib, Greg 1958-2025 St. Joseph, Mo.
Greg Kneib, 66, of St. Joseph, passed away on Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2025, while preparing for bed. He was born on Oct. 18, 1958, in St. Joseph, to Kenneth and Luticia "Tish" Kneib.
Greg graduated from Bishop LeBlond High School and proudly served in the U.S. Navy as a submariner. Following his service he worked as a welder at Altec Industries, Inc. until his retirement. Later he became a facility caretaker at St. Francis Xavier School, where he greatly enjoyed the daily interaction with students that affectionately called him Mr. Greg. He retired in 2023.
An avid outdoorsman, Greg enjoyed hunting and fishing, winning a Master Angler Award for a giant catfish he caught in the river that runs through the family farm. Greg especially loved riding motorcycles and always had one since he first got his driver's license.
