Hockey Community Mourns the Loss of 17 Year Old Hockey Player

It's heartbreaking to announce that our family tragically lost Brian Renaud on June 22nd at the young age of 17. He was an incredibly talented, kind, smart, and funny kid. Brian is survived by his grandparents, parents, twin brother and sister, and hundreds of other family and friends who cherished him. The entire family is devastated. Brian loved hockey. He lived for hockey. He played, coached, timekept and helped at the arena whenever he could. He was happiest when he was on the ice. Brian was very involved in his community, loved his younger siblings, family, and classmates at Pickering High School. He had a lot of friends. He adored his friends and talked about them all dearly. He never had a bad word to say about anyone.

Brian's kindness, generosity, and love will live through other lives that can be saved because of his organ donation choice. No parents ever foresee such a tragedy happening to their 17-year-old son but Brian's organ donation choice will be giving the blessings for other families and parents.
