Gregory "Gibby Gibson Obituary
Gregory “Gibby” Scott Gibson, 66 passed away Thursday, July 28, 2022. He died from a sudden illness. He was a resident of Green River, Wyoming for the past 42 years and former resident of Fairbury, Nebraska.
He was born November 24, 1955 in San Antonio, Texas; the son of Robert Lee Gibson and Janell Jesse Brownwell.
Mr. Gibson attended schools in Nebraska and Illinois. He was a 1973 graduate of Fairbury High School. He received a Bachelor’s of Science Degree from Chadron State University.
He married Barbara Lee Krause May 4, 1991 in Green River, Wyoming.
Mr. Gibson worked for Sisecan formerly OCI Trona Mine for 41 years and 5 months.
He was a member of St. Charles Episcopal Church in Fairbury, Nebraska.
Mr. Gibson was a member of Rolling Green Golf Course.
He enjoyed golfing; bowling; basketball; baseball and bingo. Gibby was the ultimate man. He was selfless, and completely
devoted to protecting and providing for his family. He’d outwork anybody, and go out of his way to give a complete stranger the
shirt off his back. He spent most of life underground so his family would be taken care of, but all he did was give.
He gave away all of his time and all of his money to others because that’s what he enjoyed to do. Gibby
genuinely cared about other people and whatever was happening in his own life, when you talked to
Gibby, you knew he was listening. Gibby’s heart was so full of love and generosity that it’s no wonder it
couldn’t take anymore. We can’t blame Heaven for wanting such a beautiful soul. We all love and miss
you Gib—you will forever be missed by everyone you touched in this life. Legend!
Survivors include his wife Barbara Gibson of Green River, Wyoming; two sons, T. Ross Busha and wife Chanel of Greeley, Colorado; D. West Busha of Greeley, Colorado; two brothers, Garth Gibson and wife Cindy of Kauai, Hawaii; Jon Robert Gibson of Omaha, Nebraska; one brother-in-law, Ernie Krause and wife Kimberly of Clearfield, Utah; one sister-in-law, Jenny Williams and husband Dan of Green River, Wyoming; two grandchildren, Rhyane Weston and husband Nick; Hayden Busha; many loving nieces and nephews.

A great obituary for a great man. A tremendous competitor that would never take unfair advantage of his fellow competitor. He taught me all that I know about golf. Additionally, he (with his team) is on the Nebraska Basketball High School Basketball Hall of Fame. I did have the pleasure of working with him. And yes, he worked harder than anyone around him.
