SOKULLU, Ian Mert - Passed away on Monday, December 14, 2020, after a long battle with cancer in the arms of his Mom and Dad.
He was 19.
At an early age, teachers recognized Ian’s innate intelligence.
He was put into advanced classes and ended up graduating from Country Day School while going through treatments and was accepted into the computer Science program at Waterloo University.
He truly enjoyed attending a single term of his freshman year.
Ian enjoyed cooking, building computers, playing chess, hockey and tennis, but his true passion was computer games; he managed to play every day of his life until his last moments (his gamer tag was LightningSFX). He inspired his younger siblings and friends in computers and online games.
Ian is survived by his parents, Kyung Soon (Sue) Go and Turker Ugur Sokullu, and by his younger sisters, Kayla, and Claire.
A private funeral service will be held, due to to the current circumstances surrounding the pandemic.
His parents ask that in lieu of flowers, donations in Ian’s memory are made to the SickKids Hospital of Toronto.
Ian will be deeply missed.
