Shelley Klassen’s 10-year-old son, Lionel Klassen-Hall, tragically died after an inflatable raft he was on was struck by a speedboat while tubing off Cates Park in North Vancouver, leaving his best friend critically injured. The boat’s driver, arrested for alleged speed and alcohol involvement, faces charges as the investigation continues. As the family mourns Lionel, remembered for his joyful spirit and sports enthusiasm, they emphasize the importance of living fully in his memory, supported by a community fundraiser for funeral expenses.
