Maxwell Parr
1996-2023
It is with great sadness that we share the loss of our
beautiful boy, Maxwell Rennick Lloyd Parr (he/they). On February
17th, 2023, Maxwell passed at age 26 after
suffering from complications from a stroke, he was surrounded by his
family and friends in Montréal. Maxwell was born on March
27th, 1996, alongside his twin brother Jacob,
in Guelph, Ontario. He leaves behind his parents Rosalie Rennick Parr
and David Parr and his siblings James Parr, (Anindita Datta), Grace
Parr, (Albert Le), and Jacob Parr.
Max was a beautiful soul who would light up any room he went
in, he had a unique ability to make everyone feel loved and special.
He cared deeply for others and always tried to make the world a better
place. He was a Project Manager in Montréal, Quebec, for La
Concertation de Developpement Sociale de Verdun (CDSV), where he
worked to build community through his community gardens, strengthen
access to food security, and advocating for sustainability and
equality in various community organizations.
Max enjoyed spending time in his community gardens,
connecting to the earth, painting with his watercolours, travelling
the world, having adventures, and enjoying laughs with his friends.
Max will stay with us in every act of kindness we do for others, every
seed we sow in the garden, and every laugh we
have.
He was a bright soul, and his presence will continue to be
felt.
We will be holding a celebration of life on
Saturday, March 4th, 2023, at 1
pm at Dublin Street Church in Guelph,
Ontario. Max was a bright, fabulous, and vibrant person
who loved travelling to learn about different cultures. So to honour
him we invite you to wear colourful clothing, something fabulous,
something you are comfortable in, and/or something from your own
culture. All are welcome to share your ‘Maxwell
Moment’ at the celebration of life, either in
person, by leaving a note, or virtually in a pre-recorded
video (see website for details).
Max loved to travel and went to more countries than we can
count and touched more lives than we will ever know. For those around
the world who want to join, we will be live-streaming the service
through the Dublin
Street United Church Youtube
Account.
We will be holding a memorial in one of Max’s community
gardens in Montréal in the spring, details to
follow.
We request that any donations be made in Max’s name
to Chalmers Centre 41 Macdonell St., Guelph Ontario. An
organization dedicated to ending food insecurity. Max would
have liked that.
