Gacic, Aleksander

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Aleksandar Gacic at the Brampton Civic Hospital on the 6th of July, 2022 at the age of 86, Aleksandar Gacic is now reunited with his loving wife, Gordana (deceased 2016) of 52 years of marriage. He was the proud father of Zorica, Dejan (Polja), and Tatijana (Vito). Loving grandfather to Kosana, Dario, Tara and Mila. Aleksandar was a retired High School Math and Physical Education Teacher who will be sadly missed by all his students and colleagues at Lakeview Secondary School and Western Tech. He was an avid sportsman who loved all sports and coached football, soccer and volleyball over the years. He especially loved and enjoyed playing basketball and hockey with his grandson and granddaughter in the backyard. During the summer months at the cottage he enjoyed walking and countless hours of swimming and playing with the grandchildren in the lake. He was the youngest of 8 children. His mom Zorica (deceased) and dad Milan (deceased), a war hero were very kind and proud people who sacrificed and loved their children. A special thank you to the Caledon Community Services (PSW’s) and the Adult Day Program and staff at the Hospital for their love and care of our dear father (Tata).
