Gregory Martin Goerger, a beloved resident of Bartlett, IL, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, June 15th, 2026, at the age of 39. Born on May 5th, 1987, in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, Greg was a cherished son, brother, uncle, and friend who impacted the lives of many with his gentle spirit and kind heart.

Greg leaves behind a loving family who will forever cherish his memory. He is survived by his devoted parents, Mark and Renee Goerger; his brother, Adam Goerger, and sister-in-law, Lauren Embs. Greg was also a loving and caring uncle to his niece, Audrey June. He was a dear grandson, nephew, and cousin to many who were fortunate to share in his life and laughter.

Greg was a passionate and vibrant soul with a wide array of interests that truly defined his life. A golf enthusiast, he enjoyed every aspect of the game, and his love for sports was evident, particularly in his unwavering support for the Chicago Bears.
