In Loving Memory of Majed Al-Ar

It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we remember Majed Al-Ar, a 19-year-old young man whose life was tragically taken in a homicide on February 11, 2026, in the area of Bankfield Road and Prince of Wales Drive in Ottawa. The news of his passing has sent waves of grief through his family, friends, and the wider community, leaving many struggling to comprehend the loss of someone so young and full of promise.

Majed was just beginning his journey into adulthood—a time of dreams, ambitions, and endless possibilities. At 19, life was still unfolding before him, filled with opportunities to grow, learn, and shape the future he envisioned. His story was still being written, his potential still expanding, and his presence still becoming a meaningful part of the lives around him. To lose him at such a young age is a tragedy that words cannot fully capture.

Those who knew Majed describe him as a bright and compassionate soul, someone who carried a gentle spirit and a youthful energy that inspired others. He had hopes, plans, and aspirations that reflected the optimism of his generation. Whether through friendships, family connections, or everyday interactions, Majed left an impression that will not be forgotten. His laughter, his conversations, and his unique personality will live on in the memories of those who loved him.

The circumstances surrounding his death are now under investigation, and authorities continue to seek information that could help bring clarity and justice. While the investigation continues, what remains most important is honoring Majed’s life—remembering him not for the tragedy that ended it, but for the person he was and the love he brought into the world.

His passing is a painful reminder of the fragility of life and the impact of violence on families and communities. Behind every investigation is a grieving family, friends who feel the emptiness of loss, and a community that mourns the loss of a young life that should have had many more years to grow and shine.

As we remember Majed Al-Ar, we honor his memory, his youth, and the light he brought into the lives of others. May his soul find peace, and may his loved ones find strength and comfort in the memories they shared with him. May his life be remembered with love, compassion, and respect.

Rest in peace, Majed Al-Ar.

You will always be remembered, and you will never be forgotten.
