A celebration of life was held in a Surrey park Thursday for 17-year-old Ethan Besplug, who was fatally stabbed on board a transit bus last week.
The afternoon was emotional, drawing dozens of relatives, friends and police officers to Holland Park to remember the teen.
Bespflug was on his way home when he was attacked near King George Boulevard and 100th Avenue on April 11.
On Thursday, Bespflug’s mother and step-father both spoke during the service.
“I don’t have much to say because I feel like basically my whole being is gone, my soul is gone with Ethan,” said Holly Indridson, Bespflug’s mother, to the crowd.
“He was the most gentle, kind, polite, and he was so thoughtful.”
She described Bespflug’s final day with their family spent teaching his little sister how to ride her bike.
