Jamaal Hakeem Potopsingh, grandson of the late George Potopsingh, sadly passed away in a single car accident on Saturday, November 27, 2021, on Mississauga Road and King Street, in Caledon, Ontario.

He was special; a gentle giant who was a kind, caring, loving and talented young man. Jamaal is survived by his loving parents, Peter & Donna Potopsingh, his beloved sister, Akilah, his doting grandmother, Maureen deVarennes, grand aunts, grand uncles, aunts, uncles, cousins and close friends.

A born athlete, Jamaal played Rep basketball and attended St. Augustine High School in Brampton, Ontario, where he was recognized as a very talented basketball player and excelled in the game. His parents sent him to California and he spent two years at a Charter School where he graduated. While there he played basketball in the Prep League.

Jamaal attended two Universities in the U.S., and while at the top of his game, he was injured. While being a valuable player for the Universities, and his eyes set squarely on the NBA, he pursued studies in business as he also had dreams of being an Entrepreneur.

Shortly after his return to Canada, the University of New Brunswick invited him to play on their team, the Varsity Reds, where he showcased his talent and was voted Rookie Of The Year and made the All Rookie Team for the Atlantic Division, as well as the All Rookie Team for Canada.
