Gregg Joseph Majeski

The comfort of having a friend may be taken away, but not that of having had one.

Obituary

Gregg Majeski lived with independence, determination, and a deep appreciation for the people and places that shaped his life.

Gregg Majeski, 55, passed away on March 3, 2026, in Seattle, Washington, a city he deeply loved and proudly called home.

Gregg was born on May 25, 1970, and grew up in Connecticut and the surrounding areas. As a young adult, he moved to Miami, where his love of travel led him to work as a travel agent for a time. Exploring new places and cultures was something Gregg truly enjoyed, and that curiosity about the world stayed with him throughout his life.

Eventually, Gregg made his way to Seattle, where he built a life surrounded by a close-knit circle of friends who became like family to him. Seattle was a place where Gregg truly felt at home, and the Pacific Northwest suited him perfectly. He loved the outdoors and especially enjoyed hiking and taking in the beauty of the surrounding landscapes. Gregg was also a devoted dog owner and shared many meaningful years with his beloved dog.

Gregg was proudly a member of the LGBTQ+ community and lived his life with authenticity and independence. Earlier in his life he shared a partnership with Wayne Farrell, who also lives in Seattle, and they remained close friends over the years.

Gregg was known for his determination and strong sense of independence. He knew what he wanted and went after it with courage and resolve. Even when faced with significant challenges later in life, including paralysis, Gregg maintained a positive outlook. He discovered joy in swimming, which became both a source of strength and peace for him.

More than anything, Gregg will be remembered for his caring heart, his resilience, and his ability to build meaningful friendships wherever life took him. His Seattle community surrounded him with love and friendship, and those relationships meant the world to him.

Gregg was predeceased by his father, Edward Majeski. He is survived by his loving mother, Myra Majeski; his brother Mark Majeski and Mark’s husband, Richard McMaster; and his sister Sharon Valentine and Sharon’s wife Jennifer Valentine. He is also remembered by his sister Sharon’s family, including Benjamin Valentine and Alex Valentine, who loved their uncle dearly, along with many extended family members and friends whose lives he touched.

Gregg will be cremated and returned to the East Coast to be with his family.

Because Gregg had many circles of friends throughout his life, this online memorial will serve as a place for those who knew and loved him to share memories, stories, and photographs. Friends are encouraged to add their reflections so that together we can celebrate Gregg’s life and the many ways he touched the people around him.

Gregg lived life on his own terms—with independence, honesty, and heart. Though he is gone, the friendships he built, the kindness he shared, and the memories he created will continue to live on in the many people who loved him. His family hopes that everyone who knew Gregg will take a moment to share a story, a photo, or a memory so that his spirit continues to be carried forward through the lives he touched.
