Kaylan
Syvarth
May 16, 1993 – September 23, 2018
It is with a heavy heart that our family announces the passing of Kaylan Syvarth. Kaylan passed away at the age of 25 on September 23, 2018.
Our beloved son grew up as a happy go lucky child. Kaylan was a spirited and passionate young man and expressed himself in many ways, most especially through music and the love he showed for his family.
Sadly, Kaylan also lived a difficult life of struggle and conflict. During his developing years, he was misdiagnosed and treated for ADHD until he was most recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
While Kaylan was struggling with his mental illness, he was also fighting a battle against addiction. This was a 10-year struggle for him and everybody close to him. With the help of friends, family, relatives, and counselors, Kaylan worked tirelessly to find his path. Unfortunately, Kaylan's struggle with mental illness proved to be too difficult for him to overcome.
We are very grateful that Kaylan, despite his extreme ups and down, experienced happiness and love in his life. He was immensely loved by his immediate family: parents Kathy and Charl, his sister Ciji and her husband Tom, his grandparents Babcia Halina and Dziadzia Stanley as well as other extended family members. It also gives us a great comfort to know that he loved and was loved by his girlfriend, Melisa, as well as his many friends he has made through the years.
