Ezra Tamminga (1993 - 2018)
The amazing and incredible Ezra Tamminga is with us no more. There is no way to describe him without missing out on something. He was legendary: always genuine, always caring, always ready to live life to it’s fullest. He had a beautiful soul and a heart three sizes too big, touching the lives of so many people with his infectious smile and generous, compassionate spirit.
He will be missed fiercely by all those he leaves behind: his mother Marlen and step-father Bruce, his father Philip and step-mother Eva, brothers and sister, Jhan (and Jenna), Silas, Emma, Mateo, Tristán, Hugo and Bruno, his best friend and companion Taylor, his loving grandmother Luz Marina, a huge extended family of aunts, uncles, and cousins, and a cast of thousands of his fans.
He was a true rock star, and he will live on through his music, his love of cooking and the great memories we have of him. His last gig will be this Friday, March 2, at the Maple Ridge Funeral Chapel, from 2pm-5pm, where his family and friends will celebrate his extraordinarily intense, but short life. There will be an open mic for people who want to share some of many of the stories that encapsulate his joy for life.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Ezra's memory to Coastal Mental Health or Alouette Addictions would be greatly appreciated.

Ugh, I miss you, Kid.
I sure could use an Ezzer Hug and goofy grin...and a chance to tell you how much you are still loved.
You made a difference, Young Padawan. You really did. Sleep well.

Hey Ezra, I miss you so much. Its been over a year now but you still pop-up in my head almost everyday. What I learnt from you is its important to not take life so seriously, to say and do what we want and be free. You accepted and were friendly with everyone, every type of person. You taught me to treat everyone equally and with an intense passion only you possessed. You are one of the best types of people in this world and I learnt a lot from you. I remind myself of you if I ever doubt myself or am holding back - love and miss you always. Thanks for everything and until we meet again. I hope your family knows they raised an amazing person that impacted so many peoples lives in the most positive way. You only ever did good, even now.

Missing you. I still think about you all the time. Always thinking of the last time we saw each other, and all the lovely memories we shared. I miss your laugh. I can still hear it so clearly in my mind. Thank you for all the laughs, and for always being a genuine and caring friend in my life. I miss our chats. Forever missing you.

We didn't know each other very well but I remember you as a child, and how important your life was valued to the rest of the family. You were a beautiful boy and a vivacious young man with many followers. It is a shame the world can not follow your life and that it stops here at such a young age. Your messages were clearly heard by listening ears and I'm sure they will continue to listen even in your afterlife. I'm sad for your family who loved and cherished you deeply, but I think your star will continue to shine brightly and you will not be soon forgotten.

A wonderful spirit Master Ezra, flying and now singing with the angels, surrounded by the love from all who knew him reaching the heavens and beyond, prayers of grace to all who knew him, his Mom and family.

Through Anna Hart, and Sonja Bennett I knew Ezra since he was a little chap. What a bright, sparky, impish lad. I have get on a plane, Thursday a.m. to Asia, so can not attend the funeral. My thoughts are with you. I'm so sorry.
