Gregory William Otley
In Loving Memory
My condolences to Greg's family. I was shocked to hear of his death. I worked with Greg at the SLC Airport and also a brief time in 2022 during our Field Leadership Training in Denver. Greg assumed Leadership of the door crew I was leading when I left in April of 2023 for knee surgery. We worked together for five months before my surgery.
I was not aware of Greg's struggles with drug addiction. I had only heard rumors. The news of his death was relayed to me by another coworker Phil. He said that he had open conversation about his past drug use and heart problems. I am glad that his family was willing to openly share those struggles in his obituary. Myself, father, and grandfather have all struggles with alcohol addiction.
Even though I have been sober for many years I still struggle with isolating myself from others. I have to work every day at being greatful for the blessings in my life to stay connected with friends, family, and coworkers.
May God bless you in your time of grief. I know that God lives. That Greg continues to live on in the spirit world. We will all continue to progress in the next life. There is hope for all because of the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. May He bless you and watch over you.

We are so shocked and saddened by the loss of Greg. Charlie always looked forward to his visits with his dad. They shared a love of the Utes football team and had many trips and adventures following them to different bowl games. Greg will be so missed by Charlie and his absence will be felt immensely.
Greg was a wonderful guy with a strong work ethic, intellect, and sense of humor. I am glad to have gotten to know him. He taught me how to be a carpenter and other similar skills...helping me finish my basement, remodel a bathroom, and build a bunk house. A terrific mentor! These skills eventually led me to start my own handyman business....I owe a great deal of gratitude to "Otley." Always loved working on the projects with him and having great conversations along the way. We would talk sports and crazy project ideas. Always had a smile on his face and stories to tell. My deepest condolences to Charlie and all others who loved him. Rest in peace Otley!
