Joel Ian Diment, December 18, 1993-April 28, 2025.
It is with great sadness and heavy hearts we release our beloved Son, Brother, Nephew, Cousin and Friend Joel Ian Diment to dance in the Universe with his grandparents Pat, Ian and Lorraine.
Joel’s heroes’ journey was cut short by an accidental overdose on April 28th after a lengthy and courageous struggle with substance use disorder. Joel was so much more than the challenges he so bravely faced. He loved the outdoors, camping, boating with his grandparents, rugby and his dogs Rudy and Karma. He was a deep thinker, exploring the spiritual meaning of life. He wrote books of poetry, which we will cherish. Joel was sensitive, loving, compassionate and dedicated touching so many lives over his 31 years with us and he will be forever in our hearts.
Joel leaves to mourn his Mother Sally, Father Gordon, Stepfather Gary, Stepmother Wendy, Sister Rebecca, Uncle and Aunts Paul, Tracy, Robin and Martine and Cousins Nolan and Rachel. A celebration of Joel’ s life will be held in the future. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the Victoria Our Place society or SOLID outreach.
