Condolences can be given at friend Danielle, grew up on Homedale. She looks normal enough, don't you think? However, after spending some time "socializing" in Homedale after the derby, I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT IS POSSIBLE! Homedale is one strange community! I grew up in a small town too but WE DIDN'T DO THINGS LIKE THEY DO IN HOMEDALE! There were times when I was actually frightened! I learned that you introduce yourself to someone by first stating who you are RELATED to! From what I can tell, EVERYONE in Homedale is somehow related to each other! Turns out the derby is one big family reunion! Since Danielle and Shasta know just about everybody in Homedale, we did alot of "socializing!" I went in knowing not a shred of information about Homedale itself, let alone its 2,000 residents but now. Donations can also be made to the Homedale Basque Center in memory of Mike Greeley. Memorials may be made to the Michelle McKay Mackenzie Run-Walk-Ride in care of Jordan Valley Lions Club. He will be deeply, deeply missed by his immediate family: wife Theresa, children Andy and Andrea, sister Elizabeth, mother-in-law Dorothy Wegman, brother-in-law Greg and Dianne Grenke, along with nieces and nephews Bobbie, Bryan and Kristen along with their spouses and children and extended family in several states, by his numerous friends all over the country that are too many to count.įuneral services will be on Monday, at 1 pm at Mt View Church Graveside services will be on Tuesday, Januat 1pm at Jordan Valley Cemetery. He was a multidimensional person with a multitude of talents which he shared generously. Mike loved what he did, whether it was hunting and fishing, crafting fine wood creations, teaching kids how to be safe in the shop and life, hunting and hanging out with his children, traveling with his wife and friends, or telling stories on and with his buddies. After his father's death in 2007, Mike took over full operation of Greeley Ranch becoming the third generation to do so. They lived in Nampa until 2006, when they moved to the ranch to help Bud, and he maintained the teaching job, driving 30 miles twice a day to work. Mike was devoted to his family and supported his kids' development and interests in every way. In 1995, Robert Andrew "Andy" joined their union and in 1999, Andrea Nicole.
In 1985, he met Theresa Wegman at a Homedale Demolition Derby, and despite her friends' admonitions, she agreed to a dance, and as they say the rest was history. He finally "graduated" from high school with daughter Andrea in 2017. He also mentored numerous class projects and oversaw charity and community improvement activities completed by his construction and shop students. In addition to serving on the Jordan Valley School Board, for a number of years he was the Homedale School District Education president, was recognized as Industrial Arts Teacher of the Year in 1991, honored by the student body as Homecoming Parade Grand Marshall in 2005, and was nominated by the senior class to be graduation speaker on several occasions. Mike was a respected teacher, colleague and leader in the educational community. His booming voice and neon Nikes dubbed his "Basque Dancing Shoes" made him instantly recognizable on and off the campus. He was well liked and respected by his students. Mike spent most of his career in Homedale. Mike enjoyed a 33-year-long career teaching woodshop, industrial arts, and construction skills, coaching basketball and most importantly, providing life lessons to hundreds of students. Mike's interest in cars and his mechanical aptitude led to studying Collision Repair at Treasure Valley Community College in Ontario, Oregon, and it was there when he found that he enjoyed the instructional role as a teacher's aide - he enrolled in Industrial Arts education at the University of Idaho in Moscow, graduating in 1981. He graduated 8th grade from Rockville School and continued high school in Jordan Valley, graduating in 1977. Mike grew up in Rockville on Succor Creek. He was born in Caldwell on Novemto Andrew "Bud" and Irene (Rhea) Greeley.
Mike Greeley left this world for the next big hunt early in the morning, Decemafter a year-long struggle with cancer.
