Jhaque Danyel Stewart Leong was born on May 14, 1987. Jhaque was a bundle of contradictions in the most beautiful way. He wore a Mohawk with a man bun, a nose ring, earrings, and a full sleeve tattoo; yet carried a “Proud to be a Chemist” card in his wallet complete with the Periodic Table on the back. Jhaque’s passion for chemistry extended beyond the walls of the classroom; his intrinsic focus fostered his independent pursuit of knowledge and desire for deeper understanding.
Jhaque was twice published in Peer Reviewed Academic Journals as a Chemistry Student at Mount Royal University, Jhaque was encouraged by his professors to pursue higher academia so that he would be able to apply his extensive knowledge to current research and scientific advancements. Jhaque never passed up an opportunity to learn.
Jhaque possessed talents in welding, billiards, guitar, golf, snowboarding, skateboarding and wood working among countless other areas where his skill far exceeded his years. Humble, brilliant, fit and humorous are a few words that define the remarkable man that he had become. Jhaque could instantly endear himself to anyone he met because his genuine, hilarious, kind-hearted nature was irresistible.
Jhaque was only 29 years old when his life was cut short by a tragic car accident on September 30, 2016. His life was short, but his impact on the lives of everyone who knew him will last forever. Jhaque believed everyone should have the opportunity to follow their dreams and live up to their true potential.
Tragically, he did not have the chance to further his path in life, but he would be proud to know that future students will receive financial aid from the Jhaque Danyel Stewart Leong Memorial Bursary. Jhaque would have taken great pride in knowing that this bursary would help others further their own education and interests, so that they can contribute to the world in their own special ways, just as he always did.
Jhaque was the recipient of educational funding provided by the ISCCA in the past and we are pleased to name this Bursary in his honour.
