Gregory J. Vedder, 51, of Kingston, passed away Monday, November 9, 2026, at Albany Medical Center following complications from a ruptured brain aneurysm.

Born July 24, 1975, in Kingston, NY, Greg was the son of Patricia (DeCicco) Vedder and the late Robert Vedder, Sr. Over the years, he worked for IBM in Kingston and Poughkeepsie, the Kingston City School District, and the lumber yard at Herzog’s.

Greg found joy in hiking, old coins, and spending time with family and friends. He loved cooking for the people he cared about, especially during the holidays, and looked forward to preparing Thanksgiving dinner. Those meals were more than a tradition—they were opportunities to be together, share stories, and make memories that his loved ones will always treasure.

Greg is survived by his loving mother, Patricia Vedder; his sister, Lisa Gray, and her husband, Mike; his nieces, Dallas Gray and Jessica Kelley; Jessica’s husband, Seth, and their daughter, Sunny; his brother, Robert Vedder, and his wife, Amanda; and Robert’s children, Bailey, Kayla, and Mason Vedder. He also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Greg will be deeply missed by his family and all who loved him. His absence will be felt at holiday gatherings, around the dinner table, and in the everyday moments they wish they could share with him. His family will carry their memories of Greg with them always, finding comfort in the time they had together and the love that remains.
