Aurora-Gregory Alan Krans, 58, of Aurora, Wis., passed away Saturday, February 4, 2017 at the Oscar G. Johnson Veterans Medical Center, Iron Mountain, Mich., after a courageous battle with cancer.
Greg was born on March 11, 1958 in Iron Mountain, Mich., son of LeRoy “Bucky” and Marie (Martin) Krans. Greg was a lifelong resident of Aurora.

He also worked for several of the local establishments as a doorman and bartender. Greg worked as a handyman, Auctioneer helper, and recently worked for the Town of Aurora on the road crew.
He loved people and was always joking and fun loving!
The joy of his life was his only daughter, Ashley and his grandson Peyton. Greg enjoyed fishing, hunting, tractor pulling, playing pool, golfing, playing cards and cooking for friends and family.
