Greg Boos, 67, of Wathena, Kansas left for his heavenly home on Saturday, April 15, 2023 at home surrounded by his family after fighting a courageous battle with cancer for two years.

Greg was born on September 25, 1955 in Hiawatha, Kansas to Eugene and Wavah Jean (Blevins) Boos. Greg married Debbie Simpson on January 6, 1979 at Green Valley Baptist Church in St. Joseph, Missouri. Greg was preceded in death by his parents and brother-in-law Dale Miller.

Immediately following graduation Greg joined the United States Marine Corps. He served from 1973 to 1977. Greg along with his wife Debbie operated Boos Auction & Realty throughout the area for 30 plus years.

Greg also auctioned at the St. Joseph Stockyards for over 30 years until its final drive in 2021. During the past 6 years of his life he, along with son Matt, owned and operated Boos Trucking hauling cattle across different states.

Greg was a lifelong fisherman and enjoyed going with his children and grandchildren out to fish. Anyone that knew him knew he fried the best carp and catfish you would ever eat. He loved to dance with his wife and enjoyed nights out to eat crab legs. He enjoyed planting a garden each year, mushroom hunting, working outside, piddling on his tractor, and spending time with his family, especially his grandkids. He loved to play cards and was quite good at pretending like he didn’t know how to play new games-winning every single time.

Greg leaves behind his wife Debbie Boos and their three children: Jennifer Boos, Matt Boos, and Bobbi Jo Boos all of Wathena, Nephew Chris Waggoner (Christi) of Highland, KS, three grandchildren: Gunner, Hadley, Beckett and two great-grandchildren: Cutter and Cartyr.
