Gary Richard Ostergren, known as “Ozzie” to friends and family, passed away on October 7, 2024 at the age of 67.
Gary is survived by his wife Linda Ostergren of Vacaville; as well as his children Lisa (Matt) Ostergren-Beaudin and Adam (Kristin) Ostergren; and grandchildren Lillian, Matthew, Dade, and Faye.
Gary served 20 years in the United States Navy (USN) and retired as a Master Chief. He climbed the ranks rapidly and became one of the youngest to achieve Master Chief in the USN. His second career was with United Parcel Service (UPS) in the technology field and again advanced from technician to management in a short period of time. He retired from UPS and enjoyed spending time with the family, traveling, camping, and tinkering with whatever new electronics technology he could get his hands on.
Gary will be laid to rest at Sacramento Valley National Cemetery at a date yet to be determined.
