Gregory "Greg" Don Haughn

Gregory "Greg" Don Haughn, 68 of Byhalia, passed away Saturday February 22, 2025 at the OSU Rhoades Hall Inpatient Hospice Center in Columbus, following extended illnesses. He was born May 31, 1956 in Delaware to Mary Catherine (Tracy) and Samuel Haughn.  Greg lived his entire life on the family farm in Byhalia, and was the fourth generation of his family to live and work there since Samuel P. Haughn first settled it in the 1800’s.  He was very proud to have successfully enrolled his farm into the Ohio Farmland Preservation Program before his passing. Caretaking of his immediate family members, including his parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles was his primary responsibility for much of his life.  He considered that role his most important contribution.   He continued to decorate and look after all his family’s grave sites until this year.   Greg is survived by members of the Beard family in Byhalia, close friend Mickie Sager, all of his extended family around Ohio and his many friends from throughout the years from school, baling hay and work (and his cat).  All of which he cared for deeply.  He had an amazing photographic memory and was known as the family historian that could remember any names and dates when asked.  After becoming certified ceramics teachers, he and Mary ran Gre-Mar Ceramics for over 25 years, which provided classes to many in the Richwood area.  A lifelong fan of live music, he and Mary never missed a Marion Popcorn festival concert, and Greg traveled all over to attend many outdoor music performances.   Spending summer days on Lake Erie as a youngster with his mom and dad, were the fondest memories of his life.  He cherished those trips with Sam and Mary and continued the tradition of  visiting Marblehead each fall as an adult.  In 2008 he began working at Lowes as a blind specialist, which he continued for 16 years.  He enjoyed the work very much and was considered one of the top Lowes specialists in Ohio.  As a youth he derived much enjoyment from his years in 4-H showing Holstein Cattle and traveling the country with the All-Ohio Youth Choir, that took him to the Rose Bowl twice, Europe and The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.   Funeral services will be held Thursday February 27, 2025 at 6:00 pm at the Stofcheck-Ballinger Funeral Home in Richwood. Pastor Joseph Rhea will officiate. Friends may call one hour prior to the service beginning at 5:00 pm at the funeral home in Richwood. Burial in the Byhalia Cemetery will take place at a later date. Memorial gifts may be made to R.E.A.P.

Remembrances       to #1 from: Steve Brown Farmington, NM bethelbiker1@gmail.com Wed, Jun 25, 2025 at 10:48 AM I have known Greg almost all of my life. I was 3 when I started going to Grace Chapel and Greg would have been 1. We sang in Mildred Mae's Choir together, Sunday school together, rode the school bus together, played together, my sister Judy baby sat Greg so I was at their house a lot. Later in life Greg took very good care of my mother and I am eternally grateful. He was a great guy from a great family. and ACTUALLY, although it says he was from Byhalia, he was one of us Arbelia kids.

It takes a special kind of person to do that! You were very good at it! RIP #3 from: Chris Westfall Valrico, Florida Tue, Feb 25, 2025 at 1:00 PM Greg will be cherished as a great friend from the All Ohio Youth Choir, wonderful shopping trips to downtown Lazarus, always stopping at White Castle before the drive back to Marysville, chasing stubborn cows from one pasture to another, and endless laughter at ceramic classes among friends.  Having the time, patience and perseverance to care for so many relatives is a quality few people can be attributed with, but Greg willingly took on that responsibility with selfless grace.  A fine example of a good man taken far too soon, but will be long remembered by all who knew him. #4 from: Rick & Leslie Riffle Richwood, Ohio Tue, Feb 25, 2025 at 4:47 PM To the family of Greg Haughn...we are so sorry to hear of Greg's passing...he was always a nice and friendly guy, and back in our younger years he was the host of some fun parties and hayrides...may he RIP... #5 from: Gregory Kerns Florida Wed, Feb 26, 2025 at 9:14 AM So very sorry to hear.

God speed Greg! #9 from: Corinne Marion Ohio Thu, Feb 27, 2025 at 7:29 AM So sorry to hear about my friend Greg. I have many good memories with him when I went to window treatments at Lowe’s in Marion. He helped me when I needed direction on something. I didn’t know. We also went out to eat together with our level rep on our Bally rep and we always had a good time and we always tried to stay in touch. I will miss him very much. I talked with him probably right before Christmas and was planning on calling him again cause he just came across my mind. Didn’t really know he was feeling so badly my thoughts and prayers go out to his family. #10 from: Janel Grant Ohio Thu, Feb 27, 2025 at 2:37 PM My deepest sympathies to the family & friends of Greg. He will be dearly missed. I enjoyed many years working with Greg as his Bali/Graber rep (the blind lady). We shared lots of great discussions & travel plans. We also shared our love for cats. 😻 I have made a donation in Greg’s honor to the Cozy Cat Cottage Adoption center. Love & healing hugs to all. #11 from: Kathy M Riley Jamestown Sun, Mar 2, 2025 at 9:22 PM My cousin I'm so saddened Enjoyed talking to you many times before you passed. I was so wanting to come to your funeral. I was told that they would get a hold of me as soon as they knew anything. I don't do Facebook or the internet much anymore. So I was not told about the funeral. Me and my daughter wanted to go. I wish I could have been there I love you Greg. #12 from: Kim Jolliff Marysville Thu, Mar 6, 2025 at 5:02 PM Just heard of Greg’s passing. Sounds like he had a very full and happy life. My prayers go out to his family and friends . Kim Joliff Thompson
