It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Braxton Leask. He was just 20 years old when his life was tragically taken from him, alongside his best friend Dylan Buckle.
Braxton and Dylan were bright, jubilant individuals who were inseparable as a pair. As avid soccer players they formed tight bonds with their teammates and other community members. Their travels touched lives across multiple countries and continents. We will all miss Braxton’s and Dylan’s exuberance and positivity. They both had many family and friends who all cared for them deeply.
Braxton leaves behind his mother Nichelle Guignard (Calvin Hicks), his father Rodney Leask (Jikel Keys), his brothers Kane Leask, Taylor Lance (Ariana Sian) and Calum Leask (Rose-Lynn Wadden), his sister Miranda Leask and his niece Sophia Spencer.
A joint service for Braxton and Dylan will be held at 12:30 pm on Saturday, July 8, at Evergreen Theatre in Powell River Recreation Complex.
The family asks that family, friends, and community members pray for Braxton and Dylan, as well as the survivors of this tragedy, and their families.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks the community to please donate to Powell River Mental Health and Addiction Services.
