In a Nov. 11 statement, the man’s relatives identified him as Erixon Kabera, a father of three and well-known member of the Rwandan-Canadian community.
“Erixon dedicated his life to his family, faith, and community, building a reputation as a compassionate, gentle, and honorable man,” they wrote.
“We are devastated for this unspeakable loss of a man who was a giant in his own right, the kindest soul we’ve ever known and the pillar of our family and community. With his infectious smile and belly laugh, he was so full of life and had so much to live for.”
Kabera’s family went on to say that he was “devoted” father to his three sons, Garry Sean, Terry, and Zack, who were “his world.”
“He loved them deeply, spending as much time as possible with them, taking them everywhere, and being actively involved in their lives,” they said.
“Known for his warm heart and kindness, he was a true family man, a friend to many, and a deeply caring individual who left a lasting impression on everyone he encountered. His faith guided him, and his commitment to those around him was unwavering.”
