The Victoria community, along with family and friends, mourns the loss of Jasper De Haan, a young life whose presence, though brief, left an enduring mark on everyone who knew him. Jasper’s time with us was far too short, yet the love, joy, and lessons he brought into the world will be remembered forever.
Jasper’s life reminds us that it is not the years we are given, but the moments we share and the love we give that define a life well-lived. Every laugh, every hug, and every memory made with him was precious, a gift that will remain in the hearts of those who loved him. His spirit touched deeply, leaving an impression that will last a lifetime.
To his mother, Jasper was everything — her world, her greatest teacher, and her first love. She reflects on the profound bond they shared and the lessons he taught her about life, love, and gratitude. Children, she realized, are more than just our children; they are mirrors, teachers, and guides who show us the depth of our hearts and the meaning of unconditional love.
Though Jasper’s journey was far too short, his impact was immeasurable. Friends and family remember him for his warmth, his joy, and the way he made every moment together feel meaningful. His life was a reminder to cherish the present, to value connection, and to love deeply.
As we grieve this devastating loss, may we also celebrate the beautiful moments Jasper gave us. His memory will live on in the laughter, the lessons, and the love he inspired — a lasting tribute to a life that, though brief, was truly remarkable.
Rest in peace, Jasper De Haan.
Your time with us may have been short, but your spirit, love, and light will continue to shine in the hearts of all who were blessed to know you.
