Support the tragic loss of Kristian Valmeo (KRS)

It’s with great sadness and remorse that we share the devastating and untimely passing of Kristian Valmeo, who was a loving and fiercely devoted husband and father. He leaves behind his wife and soul mate Diana, along with his two beautiful children 13-year-old Markus and 9-year-old CJ, along with his beloved dogs Archie and Stella.

Kristian’s life was a beautiful testament to kindness, generosity, and unconditional love. The affection he showered upon his family was immeasurable. Kristian stood as a beacon of strength for his family, always prioritizing their well-being above all else, right until the very end. Kristian was a hard-working man who was passionate about every aspect of his life; he was always happy to help in any way he could, and honored to be involved in people’s lives around him. Kristian was the head coach to the U14 YSSK Silver Knights basketball team where his son also played, a crucial part of his work team, and a jack-of-all trades within his own home. He had a smile that lit up a room, his perfectly timed jokes were a significant piece of everyone’s daily lives and at any gathering that occurred. Everything from dance-party Fridays to driving in the car, Kristian loved listening to music, dancing, and singing by himself, but especially with his family. He had undeniable style, from his work suits to sweatpants, he always looked handsome and stylish - his passion for Air Jordans never failed to make their appearances at all the important events in his life. Kristian’s happiness and smile were contagious and will live on in the hearts of everyone who were lucky enough to know and love him. Always up for a challenge, Kristian loved taking on new adventures and competitors, whether that be fixing his motorcycle, golfing, or playing board games with his kids. His favourite colour was yellow which is fitting when considering the fact that Kristian’s presence and love felt like a ray of sunshine; he was our left-handed hero.
