Gregory John Linaker

Gregory John Linaker, age 68, passed away on May 22, 2026. He was born on February 21, 1958, and lived a life rooted in family, resilience, and quiet strength.

Greg is lovingly remembered by his two sons, Jonathan and Jason Threefingers-Linaker, who were the center of his world. As a devoted single parent, Greg raised his sons with unwavering dedication and took tremendous pride in both of them.

He was a proud grandfather to Mason, Jessen, and Jemma Threefingers, and a cherished step-grandfather to Ethan Gauthier, Jennisa Jenkinson, and Leilani Hobbs. Greg found immense joy in his grandchildren and loved them fiercely; they brought him some of his greatest happiness.

Greg was also a dedicated member of the Millet and District Lion's Club, where he valued the opportunity to give back to his community and build lasting connections.

Greg is also survived by his mother, Barbara Jean McLaren, and his siblings: Kathleen Linaker (the late Clint Eliason); Brad Linaker (Kathy); Darren Linaker (Beckie); and Kim Fontaine (Gene). He leaves behind numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who will remember him with affection.

He was preceded in death by his father, John Hinch, his stepfather, Laurence Linaker, and his brother-in-law, Clint Eliason.

Greg will be remembered for his deep love of family, his strength of character, and his enduring pride in those he cared for most. His presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

As per Gregory's wishes, cremation has taken place. There will be no formal service. A private interment will be held at a later date at Bashaw Cemetery in Bashaw, Alberta.
