Condolences & Memories (32 entries)

• Monty this September it will be 6 years since you’ve passed. I remember one night a few weeks before this tragedy happened you asked me to hangout because you were upset. I was tired and asked to reschedule. I regret that decision with my whole heart. I still wonder if seeing you one last time would have given me closure. Or peace of mind. I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you. I think about you all the time. Every time I hear riptide or see a mountain. You were such a light in my life and I’ll miss you forever. Thank you for the kindness you’ve spread. Thank you for being you. Rest easy angel. - Posted by: Taylor (Friend) on: Jun 25, 2023

• Monty it has been 4 years since you passed and I still think of you daily. Sometimes I swear I hear that beautiful laugh that was so contagious that even the most miserable creatures would smile. I miss you so much. I wish you could of met my now husband you guys would of gotten along so well and write the most beautiful songs together. I know I only knew you for a short while compared to most but I have always considered you my best friend. I hope you are at peace my dear friend. I will never forget you - Posted by: Sky (Friend ) on: Dec 08, 2021

• Hey man, we've been through a lot together. Good and hard times, I was dedicated to you brother. I miss you and I hoped you would have contacted me, I have messed my life so much but Jesus brought it back and healed it. Often in my walk I prayed for you. I hoped one day you find yourself praying too but now I only regret the past only the part where we stopped talking. But things happened and now I can only see and remember you in my memories. Goodbye Monty. My brother from 2004-2017 - Posted by: Raphael Buscio (Brother) on: Jun 30, 2019

• None can explain the loss of life at such a young age. Please let your memories fill your hearts that everything is for a reason. My heart aches and breaks for all of you at this difficult time. With experience and love I have learned to live with the same heartache and although it never fades it leaves smiles of rememberance and love and memories of what was and what might have been. With my deepest heartfelt sympathy and condolences to all the family. Sincerely Candyce Hawkins - Posted by: Candyce Hawkins (Friend of Warren & Martine Desmarais) on: Oct 07, 2017

• I don't think I ever met Monty, but just seeing a photo of his smile lights up my heart and points to the magnitude of joy that has been extinguished from the world. We all share a piece of your sorrow that you may heal in the cauldron of community. May Monty's memory be a blessing to your family for years to come. Our time here is a gift. - Posted by: Alon D Weinberg () on: Oct 07, 2017

• Knowing Monty was a blessing. Monty could walk into a room full of anger and hate, and turn it into one of love and laughter.. His charm, His laugh, His selflessness, compassion.. Monty was all of that. It was so rare to find such a beautiful soul like his. I spent the Thursday with Monty, earlier in the day, talked with him for hours about life, let his laugh fill my room.. I never thought that day the world would physically lose such a powerful, ambitious, courageous, beautiful man. I feel Monty in every step, every move I make, he had so much purpose to fulfill and I won't ever settle for that.. People only had to meet Monty once, and they wouldn't ever forget him.. In peace my boy, your soul still lives on. - Posted by: Justice (Best Friend) on: Oct 06, 2017

• De la part du personnel de l'École Taché, nos plus sincères condoléances. Nous avons fait un don commun à Canadian Music Therapy Trust Fund (CMTTF), à la mémoire de Montagne. Toutes nos pensées sont avec vous. - Posted by: Personnel de l'École Taché (friend) on: Oct 06, 2017

• I can only imagine the pain, loss, confusion and devastation those left behind are feeling. It was a shock that no one was prepared for and a loss that will affect those who loved him forever. My deepest sympathies go out to Monty's family. I can only hope that you all find peace in knowing that he is now resting. He will feel no pain, no sadness. Only sunlight, calmness and love. I believe that those who leave this world too soon, do so for serenity. He showed the world a shining star, bright and shining. Find strength in the sweet memories. Those last forever. May he rest in the heavens and find peace in nature's paths in the sky. - Posted by: Cristan Stevenson () on: Oct 06, 2017

• Monty spent a lot of time at our house as he and my brother were so close. I remember some mornings walking downstairs still half asleep and being suddenly startled by a snoring Monty on our couch. Monty was a great kid with an awesome sense of humor. My deepest condolences to his family. RIP Monty you will truly be missed. - Posted by: Natalie Skowron () on: Oct 05, 2017

• Hearing about you passing hit me pretty hard. I remember hiring you when you we're only 15. You we're such a hard worker, charming and and amazing sales guy. We hit it off pretty well and it was like you were my little brother. You introduced me to your family, I remember how much you adored them and your sisters. You would always sneak on my phone and take a bunch of selfies of yourself without me knowing and discovering them later. So silly all the time and we laughed alot...worked as a good team. You we're always honest about everything and how you felt or what bothered you. The world is going to be a bit emptier now without you. Take care Monty :( Glad I met you, Christina - Posted by: Christina (Friend, boss) on: Oct 05, 2017

• I never actually knew Monty, I only played Xbox with him for a few years time, but he was a good friend, he was a great person to talk to and play games with. He was a friend, even though he was miles and miles away. Im gonna miss him, I'm gonna miss our insane discussions with our other xbox friends. I wish I had the chance to know him better. - Posted by: Edward Leeseberg (Friend) on: Oct 05, 2017

• Monty and my son Chris met in kindergarten and have been friends ever since. I miss your smile and your laugh Monty. I will cherish so many memories of you....the many sleepovers when you brought everything but the kitchen sink with you...hearing you and Chris laugh when playing video games...the trip the three of us took to Minneapolis (did you really eat the bones?)...your charm (you could sell ice to an eskimo)....your loyalty to Chris...your sense of humour (you light up any room you enter)....your awe at the world and all around you....I pray you have found peace sweet boy. My condolences to Ken, Danielle, Charlie, Oli, Juliette, and your family and friends. Je t'aime Montagne. - Posted by: Louise Skiwron (Friend) on: Oct 04, 2017

• Monty and I always had memories, but how we met is what matters. Grade 4 monty brought muffins and he said something like "look they bounce" and we threw them in the bus and started the reckless friendship. He always told me how i inspired him to be himself, but im myself because of him, how he never cared what people thought. He was a beautiful soul and we had so many memories like when we were super young and his prents brought us to the YMCA and outside the city to visit family and the telepurse story and how hed always want an adventure and bus places and I always said no because i hate busing. We'd walk to the trails sometimes and have serious talks. I miss that and I miss him. Je t'aime montagne. - Posted by: Chantal (Best friend) on: Oct 04, 2017
