In memory of

Sonya Hubbard

June 3, 1968 -  February 1, 2024

Sonya Hubbard, a soul born on June 3, 1968, in Cleveland, Ohio, transitioned from this world on February 1, 2024, after bravely confronting a prolonged battle with various health challenges.
In her wake, she leaves a legacy embraced by her cherished offspring, Shyla and Xavier Hubbard, as well as her adored grandsons, King and Tyson. She is also survived by her brother Maurice, sister Jamella, cousin KP, mother Diane, stepfather Johnny, uncle Kenny, and Aunt Cookie, the nurturing figures who guided her in Chicago, alongside her loving husband, Uncle Tim.

Venturing to Toronto, Canada in 1978, Sonya embarked on her educational journey within a Catholic Elementary School before ultimately obtaining her high school diploma. Her thirst for knowledge led her to pursue studies in the realm of business, a testament to her enduring dedication to self-improvement.

Sonya, affectionately known as Sugee, was a polymath who effortlessly harnessed her creative prowess. With a pen and notebook as her constant companions, she channeled her inner lyricist, crafting verses that reverberated with authenticity. Her passion for dance and performance found expression in the vibrant tapestry of the Toronto Hip Hop Scene, where she graced numerous events at Rap City/Much Music.

Beyond her artistic pursuits, Sonya's adeptness in hairdressing stood as a testament to her versatile skill set, an embodiment of her innate artistry. Her indomitable spirit, infectious laughter, and unwavering zest for life will be sorely missed, yet her vibrant essence will continue to resonate within the hearts of those she touched.

In the wake of her departure, let us honor Sonya's multifaceted legacy, celebrating the profound impact she left upon the world.

Dearest Sonya,

Your impact on the world is undeniable. Your musical genius, infectious laughter, and strength of character set you apart as someone truly wise beyond measure. In our conversations, I often marveled at your forward-thinking perspective and depth of insight.

Even in the face of life's challenges, you maintained an unwavering sense of optimism.

I regret not having the chance to express my gratitude in person, but from the depths of my heart, I want to thank you for playing such a crucial role in Jason's upbringing. He still cherishes the stories you read to him and holds dear the knowledge that you always had his back. Upon hearing of your passing, he was overcome with grief, realizing that as an adult, he truly values the love and care you showed him in his formative years. I can only hope that the Most High envelops you in His eternal love. I will be forever thankful for the impact you had on my son, and I will offer gratitude for your love all the days of my life.

You left your mark in this world , especially through your contributions to the Canadian hip-hop scene. You were present at the birth of hip hop in Canada, what a visionary. I guess it’s safe to say you opened the door for ppl like Drake and Tory Lanes.


You left your mark in this world, leaving behind two remarkable children who embody the strength and resilience that defined your own character. Xavier's serenity and fortitude reflect the values you showed him, and you should take pride in the person he has become. As for Shyla, her unwavering courage and determined spirit suggest she came from a lineage of warriors. Her resilience will stand as a testament to the enduring love and influence you shared. Let’s be honest, she is your twin in many ways lol.

May you now find solace and tranquility in heaven, surrounded by peace and happiness, as you reunite with your ancestors. Rest in power, rest in peace.
