Taiya Marie Sebastian

After three years of fighting acute myeloid leukemia, her body finally couldn’t keep going- but please know this: Taiya never stopped fighting. Not for a second. She wanted to live. More than anything, she wanted her life - her normal, her future, her time. She did not want to leave us. 

She fought through things no one should ever have to face, and she did it with this unbelievable mix of strength, stubbornness, and attitude. Taiya had that “f**k off” energy right to the end- never backing down, never pretending this was okay, never losing that fire that made her her. 

If you knew Taiya, you knew her dry humour, her perfectly timed sarcasm, and her absolute talent for flipping people off in a way that somehow made you laugh even on the hardest days. And when she laughed-really laughed - it lit everything up. 

She also had the most beautiful voice. Singing was one of Taiya’s gifts, and hearing her sing was something special- something you didn’t forget. 

She was so deeply loved, and she lived just as fiercely. This world was not ready to lose Taiya, and we were not ready to let her go. 

 We are shattered. 

 But we are also so proud of her. For how hard she fought. For who she was. For the strength she carried through every single day of this. 

Hold your people close tonight. She would want that. 

 The Final Act will take place at Darke Hall (2255 College Ave, Regina) at 4:30 pm on Thursday, April 16, 2026.
