Louis McKeen Robson From Louis' family's obituary, which said it best: "Louis was a talented artist. A gifted actor and musician, he touched many with his natural grace. He graduated Humber College Theatre program, and played bass in two bands, Soul Disciples and Critical. Louis was quick to laugh and celebrated for his easy nature and quirky sense of humor. A proud comic book nerd and funk enthusiast, he was equally at home tucked in between the covers of a comic or deconstructing Shakespeare as he was on stage in front of a captivated audience."

Pablo Sosa Centeno Wright's twin, Ben, wrote a beautiful tribute to his brother from which this quote was taken: "Pablo was an intelligent, compassionate force of nature who moved peacefully through the world and never demanded any attention. Pablo created art free of ego, he filled countless sketchbooks with original creatures, and only showed them to those he felt close to. You felt special if he let you flip through the pages, nodding as he quietly described the inspiration behind each hero or monster." Read the full article linked below:
