Goshgarian, Gregory D.
By Canton CitizenGregory Daniel Goshgarian of Canton took his last breath on the evening of July 6, 2023.
Beloved son of Crosby Jr. and Flo (Bournazian) Goshgarian. Loving brother of Kenny Goshgarian and his wife, Caroline, and Ali Coletta and her husband, Nick. Cherished uncle of Jack Goshgarian and Cameron Coletta. Survived by his caring and devoted boyfriend, Rob Paliotta.
For decades, Greg suffered with countless serious detriments to his physical form — all while having an unwavering spirit to live a life that was full of love and on his own terms — but it was long before this that Greg taught us the importance of staying true to ourselves and proud of who we all are. He redefined one-of-a-kind with a special combination of love and humor that changed us all for the better, no matter how long you knew him.
He was fascinated by history and loved to travel, feeding off the love he saw and felt in all cultures. He adored time with loved ones — especially his nephews. He took pride in making the ones he loved laugh, whether it be through inside jokes, quoting movies, or thoughtfully obscure and junky gifts. Greg had no idea how much of an impact he had on everyone he met because his spirit was so deeply ingrained in his everyday interactions. He was a naturally nocturnal person due to his desire and need to squeeze every ounce of life from each day.
Greg’s time with us was cut short after 42 years, but he lived a life filled with love, strength, and determination. He adored his family, his boyfriend Rob, his incredible friends, and his exceptional medical team at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
Greg radiated love to everyone he met, and everyone he met loved him. This was his ability and his nature. Never to be forgotten, our hearts are forever broken by this void left in our world, but his loving, funny, and resilient legacy will live on through us all.
Funeral services were held Wednesday in Holy Trinity Armenian Church, 145 Brattle Street in Cambridge.
Donations may be made in Greg’s memory to the Holy Trinity Armenian Church or to the Cancer Research Institute (give.cancerresearch.org/donate).
