Gregg Biggs, beloved husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle and friend, passed away on June 13, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and countless cherished memories.

Born the son of Ross and Maxine Biggs, Gregg lived a full and vibrant life. A true jack of all trades, always lending a helping hand, and had a gift for connecting with everyone he encountered. He was one of THE BEST salesman. Many lifelong friendships were formed during his years selling cars at Heritage Motors in Topeka, where his warm smile and genuine nature made him a favorite among customers and coworkers alike. He also devoted many years to the family business, Biggs Realty, and later continued his career in real estate with other agencies. Gregg never met a stranger and often assumed most people had at least 30 minutes to talk — he loved catching up with you any chance he could get.

While Gregg found joy in his work and hobbies, his greatest pride was always his family — especially his daughters, their husbands, and his treasured grandchildren. Early in life, Gregg was married to Audrey Swarts, and together they were blessed with their daughters, Andrea and Lindsey. Anyone who crossed his path quickly learned about his girls and grandkids, as he never missed an opportunity to share their accomplishments with a beaming heart. His love for them was endless and deeply felt.

Gregg later married Sue, and together they had a beautiful life filled with simple joys — quiet evenings at home, working on home projects together, and sharing the companionship of their dogs. Their love and partnership were constant sources of strength and happiness.

Gregg liked working with his hands — he was always fixing something or starting a new project. He loved spending his Sundays watching NASCAR and cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs. In addition, Gregg was a proud friend of Bill W., finding strength, fellowship, and lifelong friendships through that important connection.

He is survived by his loving wife, Sue, of the home; his mother, Maxine Biggs; his sister, Jodi (John) Brinkman; his brother, Bob Biggs; his daughters, Andrea (Cy) Taylor and Lindsey (Norman) Hartman; and his beloved grandchildren: Canyn, Cayne, Crayton, Nolin, Laney, Noah, Gracie, Tristen, and Alleigh. He is also survived by many other family members and countless great friends who will miss his warmth, his humor, and his generous heart.

Gregg was preceded in death by his father, Ross Biggs; his brother, Mark Biggs; and his sister-in-law, Jane Schenk.

A Rosary and visitation will be held from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM on Friday, June 27, 2025, at St. Andrews Catholic Church in Abilene, Kansas. Funeral services will begin immediately following at 10:30 AM, with graveside services afterwards at the Catholic Cemetery in Abilene.

In honor of Gregg’s deep ties to his faith, family, and community, memorial contributions may be made to St. Andrews Catholic School, where he attended as a child and later took great pride in knowing his grandchildren attended as well. 

Memorials may be dropped off at Martin-Becker-Carlson Funeral Home or mailed to Martin-Becker-Carlson Funeral Home, 414 NW Third ST., Abilene, Kansas 67410.

Gregg’s life was full of love, family, friendships, faith, and stories — and his memory will live on in all who knew and loved him.

Gregg Biggs

Don was born on April 9, 1949, in Unionville, Missouri, to Don and Mary Kathleen Dooley. He was the oldest of five children.

Don worked for many years at El Dorado Bus and Beechcraft. At Beechcraft, he became a union steward and proudly represented his fellow aerospace workers for several years. After leaving Beechcraft, Don continued his work as a labor advocate by joining KOSE and KPERS, where he represented teachers, law enforcement dispatchers, prison guards, and others.

He finished his career working for St. Francis as a foster family recruiter. He found many new families who went on to foster hundreds of children in need across the state.

Before becoming ill, Don was an avid golfer, fisherman, cook, and BBQ master. He loved hitting a bucket of balls on his way home from work, smoking his famous ribs, golfing in Lindsborg on the weekends, and following his children and grandchildren as they grew.

Don married his wife, Cleona, on March 1, 1986. Together, they raised their children, traveled, had adventures through many states, and, most importantly, loved each other through good times and bad — in sickness and in health.

Don was preceded in death by his parents and his grandson, Joshua Dooley. He is survived by his wife, Cleona; daughter Catie (Cathy) Stuart (Dwayne); sons Donald Dooley Jr. (Dixie), Brad Sherbert (Jennifer), Travis Dooley (Bridgette), and Dallas Taylor (Whitney); and step-children Trisha Womack and Chad Roberts. He is also survived by his siblings Vicki Goodson (Dave), Gary Dooley, Karen West, and Sandy Ryser (Rich); three nieces and five nephews; 18 grandchildren; and 14 great-grandchildren.

Don received extraordinary care from many healthcare professionals during his long illness. Their tireless efforts allowed his family to share many more years with him. The family would especially like to recognize Dr. Brian Pavey, the entire staff of Fresenius Kidney Care, the SRHC Emergency Department, and the 4th Medical floor nurses and doctors for their patience, skill, and wisdom. We would also like to thank RN Kelly Winslow for her kindness, assistance, and care during Don’s final hours.

A celebration of life will be held on June 14, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at Christ Cathedral, 138 S. 8th St., Salina, KS, with lunch provided following the service. Interment of his ashes will take place at a later date with his family.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the Roselawn Burial and Cremation Services. Online condolences may be sent to www.roselawnsalina.com.
