Obituary of Oskari Linnansaari

It is with broken hearts that our son Oskari Linnansaari passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, April 28, 2018 at the age of 16. Oskari was born August 11, 2001 in Helsinki, Finland and moved to Fredericton with his parents Tommi Linnansaari and Jonna Karhunen as a toddler. In addition to his parents, left behind to cherish his memory are his brother Benjamin and his sister Annina. Oskari attended Leo Hayes High School where his excellence in science was immeasurable and beyond his year. His kindness and passion for knowledge were the foundation for his involvement in school and to teach and help others around him. He developed a great passion for classical music through piano and lately with guitar. He had dreams of becoming a renowned physicist and wanted to educate himself the best way possible. He lived a happy but too short of a life. He will always be loved. There will be a visitation at York Funeral Home, 302 Brookside Drive, Fredericton, NB on Thursday, May 3, 2018 from 6 to 8 pm.
