Lowering the Flag: Schneider Jin Yeung Lam
8 September 2022
The ¶®É«µÛ banner is flying at half-mast from September 13-15, 2022 in remembrance of Schneider Jin Yeung Lam, who passed away on July 29, 2022. He was an undergraduate student in the Department of Chemical Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering.
This beautiful angel came into human life as Schneider Lam on Oct 9, 2001 in Toronto. He was taken into care of the loving family locally. He spent his early Childhood in Hong Kong until the age of 14 when he decided to continue his studies in Edmonton.
His adventure began in his early age of 6 when he started going to different countries. He went to 7 different countries before he was 12. He can speak the local languages almost immediately in every country. He even sat with a Geisha in a late night Udon shop in Tokyo just because he wanted to take a picture of the bowl of noodles on their table.
When we were having a summer vacation in Edmonton in 2016, he fell in love with Canada and decided to stay for school. He met some of his lifetime buddies and he was taken in as a family member by many people across Vancouver, Edmonton and Toronto. Being away from mom and dad, he went through some very tough times feeling lonely and lost but he came back so strong. He was very compassionate and full of life, he would get out of the car just to help someone to cross the road. He brought a lot of love to this world.
Please remember him with all the wonderful memories he brought to us and his signature smile that brings sunshine and melts everyone’s heart.
