Two Lower Mainland teenagers killed in a crash on the Burnaby-New Westminster border this week were promising teens with bright futures, according to friends and family.
His family arrived in Canada five years ago as refugees, and Ali had recently graduated from high school and earned a full scholarship to the UBC kinesiology program starting in September, according to the GoFundMe write-up. It goes on to describe Ytatek as an “amazing rugby and soccer player,” and a post on the Byrne Creek Community School rugby Twitter page remembers Ytatek as “a wonderful young man with a world of potential in front of him.”
