He was born on November 27, 1953, in Toledo to Edgar and Twila (Kuhman) Weaner. At age six, he was diagnosed with insulin dependent diabetes and began attending Camp Za-Ni-Ka where made many lifelong friends and had attended there until its closure in 1974.

He was a member of the former Holy Cross Lutheran Church where he served as a Sunday school teacher, trustee, and President of the Congregation. Gregg was a teacher for many years with Toledo Public Schools where he taught wood shop and drivers education. He enjoyed working with wood, he often made and repaired items for family and friends. Gregg loved building and constructed a four-car garage, a two-story addition to his family home, and a cottage for his sister on Beaver Island.
