OBERG, Goran - It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Goran Oberg on the 6th of February 2022.
He passed in peace and comfort at Lakeridge Health Oshawa in the palliative care wing after a brief illness.
Goran was born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1948, to Kai and Febe Oberg.
He immigrated to Canada in 1971, where his aunt and uncle and their children lived, having come years earlier. He met his wife Sonja, also a Swedish immigrant, while in Canada in 1973.
They briefly returned to Sweden to be married in 1976, but their daughter Annika was born several years later in Canada, where they’d made their home in Scarborough.
He became a journeyman glazier, working for several companies before he accepted a position at Fairview Glass in Scarborough, a job he enjoyed and remained at until his retirement in 2017. He became a proud Canadian citizen in 2004 alongside his wife.
He is survived and will be dearly missed by his wife, daughter, as well as his mother Febe and his brothers Lars and Thomas back home in Sweden, and cousins Ulla, Deanna, and Dean and their extended families here in Canada.
The family would like to extend our gratitude and appreciation to the wonderful and compassionate care of the palliative staff at Lakeridge Health Oshawa, who ensured that Goran did not suffer even the slightest discomfort during his two-day stay in their care.
A celebration of Goran’s life will be arranged at a later date.
