NICHOLAS KENTARO SHAO-QUAN ZHOU
2003 — 2022
Beloved son of Rie Takahashi and James Zhou “Baba” and younger brother of Michael, passed away suddenly on November 2, 2022. He was born on September 22, 2003 in Kamloops, B.C.
Nicholas was a smart, loving young man. He loved hugs, and enjoyed interacting with his small group of close friends, some of whom are in other parts of Canada, so they played games, chatted and watched anime together via the internet. He particularly enjoyed manga, constructing Lego, jigsaw puzzles, and playing the piano. His physical pursuits included running, rock climbing and walking his fur buddy, Ruckus.
He was an ‘old soul’. Compassionate and thoughtful. He had a thirst for knowledge, and watched educational videos on YouTube, and via TED Talks. He liked to help cook and bake, to read, and to watch short movies. He enjoyed taking trips and he particularly enjoyed his RV trip to Whitehorse & Alaska, with his Baba.
He had recently started to learn to speak Japanese in anticipation of a visit to his family in Japan. And to explore the possibility of getting his driver’s licence.
Nicholas – Mama, Baba, Michael, family and friends near and far will cherish the joy you’ve brought into our lives and will miss you and love you forever.
A viewing will be held at 10:00am on Saturday, November 12, 2022 in the Rosewood Room at Kamloops Funeral Home. A Celebration of Life for Nicholas will follow at 11:00am in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel at 285 Fortune Drive. Officiating is Sensei Naoki Hirano.
