Leslie Junior Krishna Basil, more lovingly known as Junior, passed away at home on Friday April 22, 2022 from complications of Muscular Dystrophy. Junior was the pillar of his family. Despite his physical weakness, he was the strength and light of his family and extended family.
Junior was born on November 1, 1994. He is leaving behind his Mother Nalini Basil, sister Melissa Basil Arfeen (Faizal) and his niece Jasmine whom he shared a very special relationship with. He also leaves behind a great deal of extended family and friends. He will be reunited with his late father, Leslie Basil whom he was so very close to.
Junior was a bright young man who pushed through all obstacles that life threw at him. Junior excelled in high school, receiving many awards and achievements over the years. After graduating high school from Cameron Heights, Junior was accepted into the Electrical Engineering program at Conestoga College where he had hoped to eventually pursue a career in creating technology for wheelchairs. Junior was always one to give the best advice to family and friends and influenced others with his continuous positivity. He was funny, caring, kind, smart and never let anything bring him down. He found joy in watching Anime, Marvel movies, online gaming, music, cars, and cheering on his favourite team, The Toronto Raptors.
Junior fought a hard and long battle with Muscular Dystrophy but it was finally his time to rest.
We hope that Junior will continue to shine his light on all of those remaining Earth side who loved him dearly.
