Fraser Rory Lake

Fraser Rory Lake 9th July 2009 – 27th September 2025 Our hearts are broken as we share this devastating news. Our sweet boy, with his beautiful smile and gentle spirit, has left us far too soon. With unimaginable pain and heavy hearts, we share the sudden passing of Fraser Rory Lake on 27th September in Williamswood. Fraser was the adored son of Tracy Kinch and Rory Lake, and the deeply loved little brother of Rachel and Sophie, who treasured him beyond measure. He was a caring grandson, nephew, cousin, boyfriend, and friend — cherished dearly by everyone blessed to know him. He is survived by his paternal grandmothers, Gail MacNeil (Whycocomagh) and Gayle Lake (Sydney), and maternal grandparents, Kathleen and Brian Kinch (Williamswood). He will be forever remembered by his aunts and uncles: Melissa Lake-Spencer (Tom), Alicia Lake (Douglas), Julie (Matthew) MacNeil, Amanda Lake-Cormier (Dennis), Justine Lake (Tristan), Tara Kinch (Justin), Jay Kinch (Ken), and Kevin Kinch (Tyf), as well as countless great-aunts, great-uncles, cousins, and friends. He was predeceased by his paternal grandfather, Stephen Lake. Fraser was the light of our family, whose sparkle touched everyone who had the privilege to know him. He was a gentle giant, with the biggest heart and the sweetest smile. His dimples, just like his momma’s and grandma’s, lit up every room. He carried a tenderness and generosity that touched everyone lucky enough to know him. He shared a bond of deep love with his mom and dad, never missing a chance to kiss his mom goodnight. Though he was an ever-present younger brother, Rachel and Sophie loved him fiercely and were always protective of him. His grandparents, Kathleen and Brian, treasured every moment with him — whether watching for him to arrive after school or spending quiet afternoons together. He loved challenging his uncles to marathon Mario Kart games, and playing driveway basketball. Fraser shared a love story beyond his years with his beloved Gracie, who together with her family became a part of ours. His first and only love, and our wonderful Singh family, became his loving third home. A grade 11 student at JL Ilsley High School, Fraser excelled both in academics and athletics. He was a proud member of the school volleyball team and the West End Steelers Basketball Club, where he was admired not only for his skill and drive but for his compassion toward teammates on and off the court. Just days after his passing, the Steelers brought together teammates, coaches, and families to honor Fraser with a heartfelt game — a beautiful tribute to the impact he made in their lives. Fraser carried himself with a quiet confidence and excelled at everything he tried. He loved the outdoors, sports, and most of all, time spent with his family and friends. He had a strong sense of community and spent the past two years volunteering alongside our Singh family at Square Roots, helping to support those facing food insecurity. Fraser had a kind and loving soul. He treasured his many friends and the adventures they shared. From mowing lawns, to fishing, to sleepovers, outdoor basketball, lunchtime walks to the wharf, Fortnite, and stealing fries. In the days since his passing, his close friends have surrounded our family with love, bringing comfort and stories that remind us of the joy he gave to all who knew him. We will forever remember Fraser’s infectious smile, his generous spirit, his love for others, and his compassion for all. Our family is deeply grateful for the love and support of extended family, friends, and community as we grieve this heartbreaking loss together. We hope you can join us as we celebrate Fraser’s life together on Friday, October 10th, 2025 from 1-3pm at Spryfield Lions Rink, 111 Drysdale Road, Halifax. May his memory be a blessing. To honour the pure essence of our Fraser, in lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Square Roots in Fairview-Clayton Park (squarerootsfairviewclaytonpark@gmail.com). To carry on Fraser’s light and love please be kind to one another. We need more Fraser’s in our world.
