Our son, brother, our joy, a light extinguished.

Your leaving us at this time is truly painful, but we remain grateful to God for what he has used your short life for. You were always willing and eager to lead in challenging situations. We celebrate your life of courage and your compassion for others.

Thank you all for the love and support you have shown our family during this difficult time. The funds raised are so much more than we expected. We appreciate every one of you. Seeing as we have exceeded our goal, we have decided as a family, to use the funds raised to set up scholarships with Wilfrid Laurier University in Chuck’s name.

The scholarships are for students wishing to attend WLU’s Business Administration (BBA) program and is strictly on a NEED basis. There is an emphasis on students passionate about international business, entrepreneurship and development finance as Chuck was. Thank you again for all your love and support. We appreciate each and every one of you.

Sincerely,
The Ozulumba Family
