   On July 31, 2002 Greg Canaday died in a single vehicle accident.
   
   Gregory Earl Canaday was born on December 14, 1951 in Watertown, South Dakota and died in a car accident in Brooks, Oregon on July 31, 2002. Greg was born in Watertown, South Dakota and raised in Crow, Oregon where he wore his first cowboy hat. Greg's hats traveled through the years with him, as did his boots, belt buckles, big smile, and strong warm hugs. Greg graduated from Crow High School in 1970. He attended Clackamas Community College and graduated from the Sheet Metal Apprentice Program at the top of his class. Greg was well known for his fiercely strong work ethic.
   
   Through his life Greg worked as a logger and millwright, and ended his career as a highly respected Field Supervisor and Project Manager for Integrated Exterior Systems, Inc. in Tualatin, OR. Greg's true love was horses, which he poured his boundless energy into each day. Greg raised, trained, and showed world-quality paint horses, a love he shared with his wife Paula Canaday, until his death. Greg's accomplishments in the horse world included a 1995 Reserve World Champion Stallion, with "Ima Cool Tradition".
   
   Greg began his legacy as a breeder with "Rich N Rare" who produced his favorite horse, "Richly Dunn" who he affectionately called "Lacey". "Lacey" in turn produced his first World Champion. Greg was a member of the Oregon Paint Horse Club, American Paint Horse Association, and the Quarter Horse Association.
   
   Greg is survived by his wife Paula of Woodburn, OR and his two children, Blake Canaday Star of Hermiston, OR and Jeana Canaday Bingaman of Summerville, OR.

   I considered Greg a friend - he was always so nice, polite and gentlemanly regardless of how busy he was or how he felt. Sometimes I know he did not feel all that good but he always tried to be kind and considerate. I will miss him......
