Remembering Lionel Hall

In Loving Memory of Lionel Hall
(2014 – 2025)

It is with profound sadness that BC Athletics shares the heartbreaking news of the passing of Lionel Hall (2014 – 2025). Lionel, a cherished member of our community and a bright young athlete with the Vancouver Olympic Club since 2021, tragically lost his life in a boating accident at just 10 years old.

Lionel was a joyful and uplifting presence on the track, known for his enthusiasm, kindness, and the promise he showed as a young competitor. Whether racing or cheering on his teammates, Lionel embodied the true spirit of athletics: teamwork, determination, and heart.

Our thoughts and deepest condolences go out to Lionel’s family, friends, coaches, and clubmates during this unimaginably difficult time. We mourn together and honour the memory of a life taken far too soon.

In remembrance of Lionel, we encourage the BC Athletics community to carry forward the joy, courage, and warmth Lionel brought to every training session and competition.

Rest in peace, Lionel. You will always be a part of our BC Athletics family.
