Montreal, QC—The family of Vaughn Anthony Brynford Khan is deeply grieving following his recent passing on October 20, 2024, due to an aggressive form of metastatic brain cancer that originated from renal cell carcinoma, spreading to his brain and lungs. Vaughn’s courageous battle with his illness was marked by a rapid decline, making the months leading up to his departure particularly challenging for his family.
Vaughn’s health took a sudden downturn on June 29, 2024, when he began experiencing partial vision loss, narrowly avoiding a potential accident. He was soon admitted to Credit Valley Hospital, where his condition quickly progressed despite efforts at full-brain radiation treatment. The cancer spread further, affecting his brain and causing a hemorrhagic tumor, which left him with paralysis on his right side. As his health deteriorated, he was unable to continue immunotherapy, leading his family to face the difficult reality of his final days.
The loss has had a profound impact on Vaughn’s daughters, Lizz Khan and Melissa Dias, who became his primary caregivers during this period. Leaving their work behind, they dedicated themselves to his care, facing financial hardship while supporting his health needs. Lizz and Melissa are now left with considerable funeral expenses, including the cost of the service, documentation, transportation, and burial. Melissa, a single mother to her 16-year-old daughter, Kiara Celeste Dias Johnson, is also navigating the financial strain of losing her father, who was a key provider in their lives.
To help cover the funeral and memorial costs, Amanda Harvey, a friend of Lizz, has organized a fundraiser. Contributions will support the expenses associated with Vaughn’s burial and give the family the time needed to mourn this immense loss. With a breakdown of costs, including casket, facility use, and transportation for family members, the fundraiser aims to alleviate the financial burden during this difficult time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Vaughn’s family and friends as they cope with his passing. May they find comfort in shared memories and support from their community.
