"Life is not about finding
yourself, life is about creating yourself"
- George Bernard Shaw
Greg Poe passed away on July 24th from an apparent
heart attack at the age of 57.
Poe, a
Boise native, had been performing professionally as an
airshow pilot for over 20 years, and is considered one
of the best aerobatic performers in the world. He
acquired over 10,000 flight hours in over 100 types of
aircraft in his career. He is survived by his daughter,
Kelsey, girlfriend Terri, and brothers Russ and Rick
Poe.
Memorial services for Greg Poe were
held Wednesday, August 17th, at 7PM at the Idaho Center
in Nampa, ID. We'd like to once again thank everyone
for their tremendous support and well wishes during this
time.
KTRV 12 in Boise Remembers
Greg
In
addition to his company, Greg Poe Airshows, Inc., Poe
was the founder and principal of the Ryan J. Poe
Foundation, named for his son who was lost to drug
addiction in 2002. From that loss came Poe’s Elevate
Your Life program, through which Poe visited and spoke
to thousands of middle and high school age children with
the message of “Aim for the Sky”, encouraging them to
follow their dreams and not let the world distract them
from their goals.
In a
recent interview, Greg Poe said he “wants to be
remembered as a pilot, an entertainer and someone who
gives back to the community.”
