Obituary
Greg was born at Lansing General Hospital on August 19,1969, to Joseph and Bonnie (Miller) Alana. He resided in Lansing most of his life. Greg worked as a car salesman and real estate agent for various businesses and agencies in the Lansing and Metro Detroit areas.
Greg was happiest when he was travelling or spending time at his Northern Michigan retreat near Hardy Dam where he enjoyed fishing, boating, and sitting by the campfire laughing with friends. He was an avid sports fan, and you could find him regularly cheering on his favorite sports teams. Greg loved his family dearly and was truly generous, spoiling the youngest and newest members of the family. He looked forward to holidays, especially Halloween and Christmas, and was known for going all out with decorations.
Greg is survived by his son, Justin Alana; daughter-in-law, Leanne Slaughter; grandson, Arlo Slaughter; mother, Bonnie Alana; brothers, Rick (Jessica) Alana, Tim (Catherine) Alana, Jamie (Emily) Shaull, and Shane (Candice) Shaull; sister, Tami (Kip) Alana-Miller; nieces and nephews, Brittany, Corey, Aaron, Nikki, Rick, Joey, Emily, Brayden, Danielle, Avery, Kristi, Kameron, Aubrey, and Brody; and many great-nieces and nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles.
He is preceded in death by his son, Cody Slaughter; brother, Robert; father, Joseph; grandparents, Chester and Bertha Miller and Morris and Emma Alana.
A special note of thanks and appreciation to nurses, Adam, Gina, and several others, at Sparrow Hospital's Neuro ICU who provided outstanding care to Greg and extended kindness, patience, and compassion to his family. We are forever grateful.
