Trevor JACQUES Obituary

TREVOR JACQUES Died suddenly of a heart attack while cycling near his home on Saturday, May 22, 2021. Son of the late Roland and Marie-Louise. Trevor is survived by his siblings Gerald, Jacqueline and John; and many other relatives. Trevor was born in England in 1956, and moved to Canada in 1981. With a degree in Physics from Imperial College, London, he worked in many fields including seismology, avionics, infra-red sensing and computer systems engineering. Trevor's other family was among the LGBT and Leather folk of Toronto and beyond. He will be deeply missed by his partner, Colin Lawrence and countless friends in the kink community. For 14 years, he helped to organize and lead the Safer SM Seminars for the Aids Committee of Toronto. He was honoured for his community service by ACT, and with two Pantheon of Leather (Canada) awards. A Private cremation will take place and an in person Celebration Of Life will occur when conditions permit.

I first met Trevor when he was leading workshops at Ryerson. In time, when the workshops moved to the Manulife building, I got to know Trevor better. I was one of many others who volunteered to make the workshops more inclusive – it was a wonderful experience for which I am still to this day incredibly grateful. I grieve the loss of a man whose infinite grace and kindness helped me through an exceedingly difficult time in my life. He was steadfast, making me countless cups of tea (from his Fortnum and Mason collection); we discussed and argued about many things. How else could it be? We were from vastly different backgrounds and there were occasions when our respective opinions were leagues apart. That said, we always talked things through; there was always a willingness to listen, to engage in discourse. Regardless of the outcome I always came away learning something more about his perspective and a bit more about Trevor. Years have passed since we had one of those vigorous discussions but time has never altered the profound gratitude in my heart for his kindness. I miss you dear Trevor. To my mind you lived your life without apology, with grace, humour, tenacity and always kindness. Adieu mon ami. You are much loved.
