Gregory “Greg” Edward Mott, of Stockton, KS, passed away peacefully 
surrounded by family on April 10, 2023, at the age of 52 after a brief 
illness. He was born on April 27, 1970, in Rockford, IL to Thomas and 
Judy (Olson) Mott.

Greg grew up in Rockford and 
graduated from Boylan High School, Class of 1988. Greg played on 
Boylan’s football and basketball teams and was selected to the NIC-10 
All-Conference football teams his junior and senior years. Following 
high school, Greg attended the University of Iowa and Colorado State 
University. He then decided to follow in his father’s footsteps into the
 wholesale supply business, working his way up to Industrial Sales 
Manager for Ferguson Enterprises Inc. He spent over 20 years working 
for Ferguson before moving on to his dream job of owning his own 
restaurant. In 2021, Greg moved to Stockton, Kansas, to open a 
restaurant and named it Mott’s Steak &amp; Chop. Greg worked 
tirelessly on the restaurant for the past couple years before he passed 
away.

Greg was an accomplished bow and rifle hunter who
 enjoyed countless hunting excursions with his friends to Africa, 
Canada, and throughout the United States. He was even featured on the No
 Limits Hunting TV program where he bow-hunted black bear. If “Tiny” 
wasn’t hunting, you could find him with his friends on the ranch in 
Fairplay, CO, where he spent many weekends helping out with ranch duties
 during the day and living it up at night. Greg also enjoyed skiing, 
fishing, golfing, and cooking. Greg’s nephews meant the world to him. He
 would brag about their sports accomplishments to everyone who would 
listen. He and his father Tom, aka Grandpa M, are now their #1 fans in 
the VIP section in heaven.

In his 52 years, Greg blazed
 his own trail through life living every minute to the fullest. We are 
fortunate there are so many legendary stories about “Mott” that will 
last a lifetime. He was the life of the party and the leader of “The 
Mott Squad." We will always remember his humor and unmatched ability to 
tell a story. To say Greg will be missed by his family and friends is an
 understatement.

Greg is survived by his mother, Judy, 
of Rockford, IL; his three sisters, Sarah (John) Zilinskas and Kelly 
(Jeremy) Aldrich of Denver, CO, Melissa (Tyler) Smith of Portland, OR; 
nephews, Gus, Hank, &amp; Ned Zilinskas and Henry Aldrich.

He is 
preceded in death by his father, Tom, uncle Merritt, his grandparents, 
and his beloved animals, horses (Cash and Dakota) and dog (Duke).

Per
 Greg’s request, a farewell tour will take place in three locations 
starting in Stockton, KS (May 17), Denver, CO (May 21) and Rockford, IL 
(July 2), details to follow. There will be a private family burial 
service at Greenwood Cemetery in Rockford, IL.

In lieu 
of flowers, memorials may be sent to the family or Plumer-Overlease 
Funeral Home, 723 N 1st, Stockton, KS 67669. A cause will be set up in 
Greg’s name at a later date.
