Shayna Louise McLeod
Write a TributeIt is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved daughter, Shayna Louise McLeod. Shayna passed away, leaving a void in our hearts that can never be filled. She was the youngest child of Don McLeod and Karolyn Mufford.
Shayna was the cherished sister to Ian McLeod and his partner, Sandy Erkkila, and Kaleigh Michaud and her husband, Carson Michaud and her new nephew Owen. She was also dearly loved by Don's wife, Jacquie McLeod, and Karolyn's partner, Jim Hoekstra. Shayna was preceded in death by her cousin, Bradley Latter and is survived by her Uncle and Aunt, Tom and Susan Latter, her dear cousin, Shelby, and her devoted best friend, Kyle. As the youngest member of our family, Shayna was adored by her older siblings and cousin. Her presence was a beacon of joy and love, and her infectious happiness and boundless spirit touched everyone she met.
Shayna was the light of our lives. Her exuberance, charm, and the immense warmth of her heart made her truly special. She had an innate ability to spread joy and was always there to lend a helping hand or a listening ear.
Although our hearts are heavy with grief, we are comforted by the countless memories we have of Shayna. She lived a life full of love and brought happiness to those around her. Shayna's legacy of kindness and love will forever remain in our hearts.
A Memorial Service will be held on Friday February 28, 2025 at 2:00pm, with a reception to follow, at the Maple Ridge Funeral Chapel- 11969 216 St Maple Ridge BC.

All my best sleepovers were with you and not a single time have I watched The Emperor’s New Groove without thinking about when we watched it for the first time together. I will always miss you and never forget you. Rest peacefully.

I had the privilege of knowing Shayna for over 20 years.
I watched her grow from a typical happy-go-lucky kid into the absolute one of a kind woman that she became.
There was no middle ground with Shayna. It was either a huge grin and a hug....or a bit of a pout if she was having an off day!
Though, mostly the grin!
Even after she moved out on her own, we would run into each other a couple of times a year.
Always in the most random places.....a pub, the mall, Costco, or just walking down the street. I would suddenly hear a shout...BRUCE!!!
There would be Shayna. 'Loud' McLeod was a very appropriate nickname!
Ten months ago, I lost someone who was very special to me. She was 29.
Even though I hadn't seen Shayna in over a year....as soon as she found out, she phoned me repeatedly to make sure I was doing okay.
Rod, Karolyn, Ian, Kaleigh; I'm so sorry for your loss and that Shayna's journey was so short. I would have loved to see her at 40...50...60.
Thank you for letting me be witness to a small part of the whirlwind that was Shayna.
I will never forget her.
With much love

I'll forever remember how much you were there for me over the years. The time you took care of me when I was sick, you always knew when I needed a random car rise to clear my head and cheer me up, the summer days we spent together on adventures going swimming and finding fun places to go, theres so many more i could share.
You had such a kind heart and could lift anyone's spirit with your unforgettably contagious laugh, and quirky humor.
I'm thankful to have so many fun and beautiful memories to cherish with you and your kindness and empathy will forever live on.
I hope wherever you are you're shining bright feeling nothing but peace, love and joy.
You will be missed so much by so many. Love you always and forever ♡

To my very loving and very loud friend Shayna,
You are one of my most favorite and sincere friends. I never questioned where I stood with you. You always made it very clear that you appreciated our friendship as much as I did.
I will always remember our great memories. I will always remember the sound of your laugh.
When ever I was going to the river for a dip and a sip, I made sure to call you up and yup, you were doing the same thing.
Our friendship started and bloomed years prior to our fun days on the river bed and I will keep those wonderful memories of us forever in my heart.
I love you Shayna!
And I love how our "crazy" matched perfectly 🥰 💞
You may be gone, but you will NEVER be forgotten.
In my heart and soul you shall remain, FOREVER!

I remember years back when I would go over and we would pre-drink and go out to Charlie Hamiltons's or The Fiddle and have so much fun! Our friendship did fall through for a bit for the best of both of us but after bumping into you was great to connect again! You updated me how you were doing and I updated you and when you told me you missed our friendship and hanging out together I honestly was emotional..I was so proud of you being sober and I should have checked in more often since we lived so close by..love you Shayna and may you rest in peace and have a much brighter happier life on the other side ❤️
