Stittsville is mourning the passing of Tysen Lefebvre on Christmas Day. Tysen was an extraordinary young man whose courage and generosity inspired our entire community. Despite living with Pfeiffer syndrome and undergoing more than 20 surgeries, he dedicated his life to helping others, raising over $1 million for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. He was 25 years old.
His remarkable courage and determination earned him numerous awards, including Stittsville Youth Citizen of the Year, the Mayor’s City Builder Award, and the Ontario Junior Citizen Ward. Tysen’s kindness and spirit touched countless lives.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family and many friends.
A community-wide celebration of life for Tysen will be held in the coming weeks. Please consider donating on behalf of Tysen Lefebvre to his favourite causes: Make-A-Wish Canada and The Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind.
