CHURCH, Liam Jay

February 24, 2000 – May 4, 2021. Liam Jay Church, of London, Ont., died on Tuesday, May 4, 2021, at the age of 21. Born on February 24, 2000, in Hamilton, Ont., Liam was a much-loved son of Jennifer Kilgar and Brian (Shannon Mcconnell) Church. He will be remembered and deeply missed by younger brothers, Tyler and Kai; and grandparents, William and Geraldine Church, Sharon Hackney-purchase and David Purchase. He was adored by his aunts and uncles, William (Jessica) Church, Mark (Janis) Church, Janis (Terry Stride) Kilgar; and cousins, Ethan, Ashley, Daniella, William “Alex”, Jack, Michael, and Jase. His loss is also felt by extended family and friends across the country and his community family who supported him throughout the last few years. He was predeceased by his uncle, Jason Kilgar. Liam was a curious, musical soul who loved the beauty of nature, outdoor adventures, and trying new things. He delighted in playing any request from any decade by ear on his fiddle or French horn and loved entertaining any audience. He took many road trips to the East Coast to visit Nova Scotia and Newfoundland to hike, canoe, kayak, camp, skip stones in the ocean, and snowboard with family and friends. He had a quirky wit, and a genuine curiosity in fellow humans that endeared him to many; that and the deep blue eyes he saw the world through. Cremation has taken place. A private interment and a public celebration of Liam’s life will occur at a later date. Those wishing to make a donation in memory of Liam are asked to consider Youth Opportunities Unlimited (YOU), the Canadian Celiac Association, or Teen Challenge - Ontario Men’s Centre.

Love is deep as the road is long.

It moves my feet to carry on.

It beats me heart when you are gone.

Love is deep as the road is long
