Torger William Torgerson, resident of Grande Prairie, formerly of LaGlace, Alberta, passed away on Monday, May 26, 2025, at Mackenzie Place Care Center at the age of 91 years.

He was loving, kind, tender-hearted and a great friend to so many. He would help anyone in need without judgement. His hobbies included woodworking, making games as well as furniture for family and friends. He was a music lover alongside being a talented musician and singer.
