Oestreicher, Jeff (Age 46, Oakville)

Jeff Paul OESTREICHER, age 46, on Wednesday, August 7, 2019, after a courageous battle with cancer. He was an amazing husband to his wife Carey-Ann Oestreicher (Greenham) and loving, caring father to his two princesses: Ella and Brooke. Jeff was a loved brother of Jon and Sandra and by his brothers-in-law Craig and Ericka and Cory and Amy. Jeff will be missed by his mother-in-law Marilyn Greenham and his nieces and nephews: Alex, Avery, Sam, Austin, Samantha and Grady. Jeff was predeceased by his Mom Marilyn, his Dad John as well as father-in-law Gary Greenham. Jeff will be missed by family, friends and students from Humber College where he taught as an Accounting Professor. Jeff achieved many things in his short time on this Earth: a Masters degree in Accounting and CPA, several Canadian and North American Pond Hockey Championships, numerous MVP and most Team-like Player Awards, triathlons, both before and after stage 4 cancer diagnosis, and he never missed a day of school or work due to illness until he was diagnosed with cancer at age 44. But none of these roles or awards was as important to Jeff as his role as a Dad and Husband. His dedication to his family, particularly since his wife Carey-Ann experienced a brain injury seven years ago, has been inspiring. Jeff was a kind, loving soul and those he has impacted will be his legacy.
