In Loving Memory of Livia Stoyke

Livia Stoyke was actively involved in the field of Visual Communications for over 11 years and was Creative Director and one of the three founding principals of Redengine Inc. Livia's life was cut short in a whitewater kayaking accident on June 15, 2002 but her memory lives on in those she touched and through www.livia.ca.

A year later, www.livia.ca was created. A close group of friends and coworkers collaborated in quiet conversation to put together a memory book in which her colleauges stated, "we're not sure whose idea it was; just that it was an idea that we had to be a part of...we needed livia.ca."

Those who shared their thoughts and feelings somehow needed www.livia.ca too - they needed to express their grief and sadness, share their fond memories and even say a personal goodbye. Childhood friends, acquaintances, coworkers, and family placed their messages on the website - adding to the emotional outpouring. It helped people mourn Livia. It helped people remember Livia.

Today, the website serves as a place where the Livia Stoyke Foundation continues her passion for creativity, artwork, adventure, equality and, above all, her love of life and people. Livia's contributions to Redengine remain palpable today - and we remain encouraged and inspired by her foundation's achievements. We remember Livia!
