Gregory ‘Greg’ William Charles Fagan

I just learned of Greg's passing from a family friend. I remember him clearly from when I worked at CPRI a long time ago. He was a very fine character dedicated to the clients he served at work and personable to those who crossed paths with him. I'm very sorry and saddened about the loss of Greg who was taken way too soon from this earth. My condolences to his family and loved ones. RIP Greg.

I was very saddened to hear this news. Greg's work made a huge difference in the lives of the families we served together. He had the rare ability to explain complex difficult clinical information to parents in a way that helped people both understand and feel supported as opposed to feeling overwhelmed. He was a champion in our field and his impact will be felt for generations. My sincere condolences to Greg's family and friends.

Greg you were an amazing human being. We are so lucky to have known you. You were always a delight to talk laugh and drink with. You will be miss deeply. Keep smiling upon us. You will always be in our heart. Rick our sincere sympathy. Sorry we couldn t make it out to Greg s funeral.. Love the Seguin household.

we will miss your phone calls & drop in visits a great guy gone to soon a great person to have as a friend

I had the absolute privilege of working with Greg for a couple of months, when he willingly came and helped out our unit during the height of COVID. I ended up taking a leave to deal with the death of my Dad. He called me to ask how I was doing before I left, because it was so sudden, and I will never forget that conversation. The way he talked to me, engaged with me, provided acknowledgement that what I was going through was indeed hard. He was such a wonderful human, and had an air of positivity always around him. For the short time I knew him, he left such a lasting memory. I am sending much love and kindness to his family during this time.

The McNorgan family is sending their heartfelt sympathy and prayers on the very sad loss of your cherished Greg. I had the privilege and pleasure of knowing and teaching Greg in Grade 7/8 at St. Plus X School at the same time his Dad was head custodian there. My parents (Carl and Lil) were long time friends of Greg's dear grandparents, Bill and Roberta. I was a childhood friend of Greg's dear Aunt Maureen Fagan. May you all receive the gifts of hope, peace and comfort on your difficult grief journey. Holding you all in our thoughts and prayers, Joanne Armstrong (nee McNorgan) and family.

I worked with Greg. He was a very kind and caring individual. In fact the first conversation I ever had with Greg, he welcomed me to my new role and offered to support in any way he could. He was always very welcoming and offered support on many occasions. Even though I didn't know Greg very long, he felt like someone I could go to for help and to lend a listening ear. I know he was very well known and loved at his place of work. He will be truly missed by so many, including myself. Rest easy.

We are so sorry to hear this sad news and we send our sympathy to all the family. We met Greg through the 70th London Scouts and always remember his smile and greeting when he saw us each year at the Pancake Supper. We thought of him once again this year at the supper. He will be missed.

Greg, you will be so missed. I had the pleasure of working with you closely for almost a year and I truly loved our chats and collaborations. I loved hearing your stories and you were always so caring and heartfelt in wanting to truly know someone. I have read your last email that you sent me Friday before you were leaving on vacation….. you were so excited to be venturing off again with Richard and your kids and you said you’d share pictures and memories once you returned. I know life took a drastic and unexpected turn. I hope your continuing to travel the world, loving every moment, wearing a bright smile and bringing joy to all those you meet. Until we meet again.

To all our family and Greg's friends in London, Ontario , Richard Butler and especially Mackenzie and Jarod, we are sending you our most heartfelt condolences on the passing of Greg. He was a great friend and cousin to us whenever we had the chance to connect either in London or when he would spend time with us, here in Ottawa. He always was a great conversationalist updating us with stories of his life and other family members, but first and foremost his stories and updates would lead off with the coming and goings and what was happening in your lives Mackenzie and Jarod. He always had the biggest smile when talking about you both, he would be standing tall and his chest would be puffed out because he was so proud of you and especially now that you both were growing into adulthood and he could enjoy his time with you. Richard, he was so excited to see what this next chapter in his life would bring sharing it with you. He was full of excitement and eagerness to travel the road of this next chapter in his life with you. Our prayers are with you and hopefully will comfort you during this time. Greg never failed to like a facebook post or just send a direct message to let you know that he cared and was thinking of you, it was his special way to connect over the distance. His love of scotch, a great dinner following with a story telling session will be missed by us, but we know that you Greg will be enjoying this and so much more in heaven. Mary and David Walker

Very, very sorry to hear this sad news. I only met Greg a few times but liked him immediately. Funny, charming, energetic, and a great dancer. I fondly remember dancing to Abba and Madonna with Greg. He was definitely the life of the party.

I am deeply saddened to learn of Greg's passing. I worked with Greg at CPRI for many years and more closely over the past several years. He had a passion for helping kids and families and he did it so well. He was a fierce advocate for children and youth and he improved the lives of so many who had the good fortune to work with him. I will miss his big personality, his humour and his support. Greg loved to talk about his children and he was so proud of them. I am very sorry for your loss. My sincere condolences. Rest in peace Greg.

Shocked and sadden to hear of Greg leaving us ! Always enjoyed hanging out and listening to the stories and laughter ! Ugly Xmas sweater parties arent going to be the same without you ! Thoughts and prayers to all of Gregs family, he was an awesome dude !

My condolences to Greg’s loved ones.. be they family or friends. I knew him when a younger man, lost track over the years. Greg had the greatest personality and was a staunch defender of those he loved. He has definitely been taken too soon.

Greg was an exceptional friend and coworker, always bringing such kindness and fun to any encounter/conversation. Working with Greg was an absolute honour and every time I saw him in the halls, or saw his name pop up on my phone or in my email, I knew good things were to come! His smile was infectious and he beamed with happiness. I am so very sorry for your loss and hope you can find comfort and joy, in all of the memories you made and shared together.

To Greg's family and dear friends, please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of a beautiful soul who will be deeply missed. We had the good fortune to meet Greg through our dear friend Julie McDermid. We had many a wonderful dinner parties at Julie's house where Greg would lighten up the room with his lively conversations and jovial personality. May you rest in peace Greg.

Our most heart felt sympathy. Greg was so full of joy filled life. It was a shock to learn of his passing. I have great memories of Dan ing uo a storm with him, singing oldies and just enjoying the company of mutual friends. Our loss is heaven's gain.

I met Greg once. I didn't know it was to be our first and last meeting. My impression is that he was such a jovial person--very affable and personable. Greg, I didn't know you very well, but I will sure your miss hearing your voice. Rest easy, Greg. Condolences to his family and those who mourn.

Heartfelt condolences to all who knew Greg. In our early 20s, Greg and I would take the long bus ride together from college to work, talking about the opportunities ahead of us, and over the next few decades we saw them unfold. Greg was so dedicated to helping families, and his colleagues and for that he will truly be missed, as will his one-liners and sense of humour. He loved his kids so very much. Rest well, Greg.

Never has it more true that the world has lost a light. Greg made such a huge impact on my life in a short time. His hugs and smile was my support during a difficult time and his random texts since to say hello and to give me a virtual hug always came at the perfect time. He will be incredibly missed. Xoxo

McKenzie and Jarod. Your dad loved you so much, of that I am sure. It is such sad news to hear of his passing, shocking to think we will not hear his laugh again. I hold dear the memories of dancing with him or sitting chatting with him for hours longer than expected. He was a well loved man and so are the both of you. xx

Greg you were always filled with such energy and life, and such an appreciation for all you had. Heaven will be a happier place for your family there, and filled with forever memories for your family here.

I had an opportunity to meet your Dad when I went to visit my dear friends Ellen and Gardiner. I found your Dad so pleasant, funny and such a loving father. He adored both of you and would have given you the moon if that were possible, thinking of you both at this time.

We were so sad to hear that our good friend as passed away. Greg was a very special person. He was always there with a smile and a hug ready to brighten your day! He was such a unique character and had the best sense of humour! We will miss him.

We are thinking of Greg's family and friends during this time of sorrow. I know that Greg's relationship with my Aunt Bev was very important to her.

Greg was truly one-of-a-kind. He was a very strong advocate for kids and families. A very loyal and generous friend. Dinner with Greg was an event to look forward to. Sharing a bottle or two of “Josh” lead to great story telling, lots of laughter and an appreciation for life. I feel blessed to have known him.

Greg was our across the street neighbour for many years and we extend our deep sympathy to his family and all those who will miss him. We enjoyed knowing Greg and his family and were sad to see them leave. To us, Greg was always friendly, and he generously shared his baking with us on occasion. It was delicious. He will be missed by many and we hope that faith, good memories and God's peace will bring comfort to those who mourn his sudden passing.

Please accept my sincere sympathy on the loss of beloved family member -I taught Greg in kindergarten many years ago at blessed sacrament school and remember him and his family with great fondness -may he rest in peace

We are deeply saddened by this news. Greg was a special guy and he is gone far too soon. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. The world is a less good place without him.

We enjoyed Greg's company. He was a thoughtful, fun person to be around. We will miss his positive outlook and seeing everyone as "beautiful". We are sorry for the loss of Greg.

Our family sends their love and prayers. He would visit or call his Aunt Connie and Uncle Jim with either food or a funny conversations to brighten there day. He will be sadly missed.

I'm very sorry to learn of Greg's passing. I met and worked with Greg through his work at CPRI . Greg was a dedicated professional who worked hard to collaborate with other agencies and social service professionals on behalf of the children and families being supported by CPRI. Greg was kind man with a fun sense of humour . He will be missed.

We had the pleasure of knowing Greg over the past 20 years through a mutual friend. Greg was such a loving charismatic man and always the bright spot in the room. He made every trip to Niagara memorable and will be dearly missed. One of the best dad’s I’ve ever known. Our hearts go out to Kenzie & Jarod and everyone he loved.

Gregory because his mother always liked the name; William for his father; and Charles as a nod to our family's ancestry in England and surname - Stafford-Charles. A big name for a bigger personality. Never could be considered a shrinking violet. Never backed down from his beliefs. Never turned away anyone in need and never felt anything was more important than family. He made me an aunt for the very first time. I cherish that. He was always a go-getter and usually got whatever he went after. His charm filled up a room. His smile a constant; his laughter contagious. His presence unmistakable. Those are the things I will miss. And the kisses and hugs after every text. And Thanksgiving dinner. And so much more. Gran is probably already setting up the Scrabble board while you hug your mom and dad. Your suffering is behind you. Rest easy now in the arms of God. We will see you again

Greg will be remembered as not only a great colleague but also a friend who was always ready to listen and help. His laugh and smile would light up the hallways and offices at work. I loved sharing travel and parenting stories with each other. He exemplified living life to the fullest. Greg, you will be dearly missed. It was an honour to know and work with you. My deepest condolences to Greg’s children, family and friends. Michelle Ponti

Times at the beach, getting lost on a winding country road in the middle of nowhere, breaking a sweat on a dance floor: no one created indelible memories like Greg did. He was the best at the things we all just hope we can someday be: he was authentically himself, and completely irreplaceable. He was all exuberance and warmth. It was a while ago, I cherish the times we shared. My deepest sympathies to Greg's beloved children, to his spouse and family and to his friends.

Greg, we are going to miss you so much. You were always the life of a party and such a joy. Your laughter and graciousness was boundless. And those high kicks as you danced would hit the ceiling! You did an amazing job raising Kenz & Jarod, they are incredible people just like you. You found your soulmate in Richard, and we were so blessed to see you two flourish in the last year. Rest well our friend, we will forever hold you in our hearts.

Greg was a wonderful colleague & a dear friend who left too soon. He was eager to help and his knowledge around work was remarkable. He believed in getting things done. His kindness, generosity, positive demeanour and wisdom will be missed. He always talked about his kids with pride. Rest in peace dear Greg.

If you ever needed your day brightened Greg was always the one to jump in with his fun, charming personality. Always praising his kids and so very proud of them. His laughter and wit could always be heard in the workplace hallways. Definitely a warm heart and soul gone too soon.

Greg was such funny guy with a warm heart, who loved life and his family. He will be missed.

We had the pleasure of working with Greg over the years, his smile, fun loving ways, sense of humour, dedication to children and families were evident. He humbled our family with his generosity during a strike when he showed up unannounced with a couple bags of groceries. Sincere condolences to Greg’s family and friends.

Oh how I will miss his "parade" through the hallways as he nodded and waved as the queen--always "dressed to the nines". Greg was eager to spread laughter, talk about his kids, and figure out how to make the world a better place. And he did. His capacity to engage with others, sort through challenges and get the job done was remarkable. He taught me a thing or two about this and I am thankful. But there was still much to learn. Sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Greg was a wonderful, kind, and generous man. He was a wonderful co-worker and went on to become a dear friend. He was so very thoughtful and I will miss him. He loved his kids, Kenz and Jerod, and talked of them often. I remember all the stories Greg told of them. I also had the pleasure of meeting Richard. My condolences to you at this great loss.

My sincere condolences to Greg's family and friends. He was such a wonderful guy. I have many fond memories of Greg. My favourite memory of Greg, was when I was at his house on Elgin St. years ago. He cranked the dance music and he, his daughter, and son started dancing. I personally witnessed the high kicks, his foot was well over his head. The kids looked so proud. Their facial expressions made it obvious how proud they were of their Father! "See what my daddy can do!". Rest is peace Greg, and thank you for everything you did for me! XOXO G

I had the opportunity to work with Greg from the start of my career. His humour, energy and strong work ethic were a consistent part of who he was. Greg always had a quip or a joke to make me laugh, even when not expecting it. He will be missed very much. Condolences to his loved ones.

Kenz and family, So sorry to hear of your loss. Taken way too soon. Thinking of you. We have another angel. Love the Glasgow’s
