A Cambridge family is devastated over the loss of their 15-year-old son and brother Malakye and is questioning how the teen’s body ended up at a Toronto waste management site.
Brandy Jessica’s son Malakye Chevrier was missing for a week.
“Malakye was not just a son; he was the light of our lives, a beacon of joy and love that illuminated every corner of our existence,” said his mother in an interview with CambridgeToday. “He was just an amazing kid and I am finding out more and more how much he impacted the community around him.”
Jessica notes that Malakye would ride his bike to the local Tim Hortons and talk with people, having great conversations. Since his passing, multiple people have contacted her and let her know how her son brightened their day and gave them someone to talk to when no one would listen.
“He would see someone pulling a cart with a bunch of stuff in it and he would see them as a person first and not the situation they are in,” she said. “It didn’t matter if they were homeless or whatever, he would judge them by what’s in their heart.”
The family has since started a Gofundme page to try and help raise money for the boy’s funeral and burial expenses.
