<div itemprop="description"> <p> CHRISTOPHER (KIT) SKELLY </p> <p> April 21, 1989 &ndash; March 9, 2013 </p> <p> &nbsp; </p> It is with deep sorrow that we announce Kit&rsquo;s tragic death on March 9, 2013 after a tortuous battle with schizophrenia.&nbsp; Kit was the very, very much loved son of David &amp; Lesley (nee Adamson) Skelly and &shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy; most awesome brother to Adam and Robyn.&nbsp; He was so loved by his large extended family and will be greatly missed by his many aunts and uncles and 23 cousins.&nbsp;&nbsp; Kit will forever be remembered as a gentle soul who loved music.&nbsp; An accomplished&nbsp; pianist, Kit loved his guitar and was the lead in two high school musicals.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; He was also a great writer, winning a national award for writing when he was nine.&nbsp;&nbsp; There was never a video game that Kit could not master!&nbsp; Kit was a great friend who generously shared his clever sense of humour and his love.&nbsp; His friends were very important to him as he grew up.&nbsp; He touched so many but will be especially missed by Brendan, Eddie, Ryan and Seung Woo. From the age of seven Kit wanted to be a doctor and spent two years at Guelph University studying biology before his illness overwhelmed him.&nbsp;&nbsp; We want to thank our incredible families, our amazing friends, Dr. Ralph Lewis and the staff at Sunnybrook&rsquo;s psychiatric unit.&nbsp; Also a big thank you to Covenant House who sheltered him during some of his most difficult times.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In lieu of flowers donations will be gratefully accepted by Covenant House and the Schizophrenia Society of Ontario.&nbsp; Visitation will be at the Mount Pleasant Cemetery Visitation Centre, 375 Mt. Pleasant Rd, Toronto [east gate entrance, north of St. Clair Ave., 416-485-5572] &nbsp;on Tuesday March 12 from 2-4 and 7-9pm.&nbsp; A service to celebrate Kit&rsquo;s all too short life will be held there as well on Wednesday, March 13th at 2pm.</div>
