Allan Saxberg (29 November 1939 – 2 September 2022) was a Thunder Bay-born forestry and mining worker who lived in British Columbia and Ontario.[1]
Life and family
Allan Saxberg was born in Thunder Bay on November 29, 1939, to Hilja and Sigfred Saxberg. He grew up on River St. alongside seven siblings. He spent a significant portion of his career in BC, where he was employed in the mining geology and exploration sector. He later returned to Thunder Bay and worked in the forestry logging industry.[1]
A man who enjoyed a quiet life, he was a member of a local church community and spent much of his time outdoors. At his residence on Lakeshore Drive, he constructed a golf course that became a gathering place for family events. He frequently traveled to BC to visit his parents during their later years.[1]
He was survived by his brother Lorne and his wife Joan, and sisters Mary Harris with her husband Ken and Susie Monkhouse with her husband Bill. He was also survived by his sister-in-law Wanda and many nieces and nephews, including Danny. He was predeceased by his parents Hilja and Sig Saxberg, his brother Gerald, and sisters Phyllis McKane, Linda Koroscil, and Esther Walker, along with their respective spouses Les, Arnold, and Phil.[1]
He died on September 2, 2022, while under the care of the staff at Bethammi Nursing Home. Cremation was arranged, with a private celebration of life scheduled for a later date. Support was provided by friends Jan and Patricia during his final days.[1]

Notes
Possibly the same as the Lakehead College student Allan Saxberg (1959–60; he would have been about 19 or 20 if born in 1939), but this is not confirmed. He is not the same man as Allan Saxberg (died 2010), who has a different recorded death.
