It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Paige Callahan, a vibrant 17-year-old from Keswick, Ontario, who died in a car accident. Surrounded by her family at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, Paige fought with remarkable courage during her time in the ICU, but despite her strength, she passed away far too soon.

Born in 2008, Paige touched the lives of many with her energy, kindness, and determination. She was a beloved daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin, aunt, and friend whose presence brought light to every room she entered. Her laughter was contagious, her spirit strong, and her heart full of love for her family and friends.

Paige’s athleticism and passion for sports were a defining part of who she was. She proudly represented the U18BB Georgina Golden Hawks on the ice, where her determination, teamwork, and love for the game inspired her teammates and coaches.

Beyond hockey, Paige also excelled in volleyball and rugby, always bringing her competitive edge and joyful spirit to every match. Her teammates remember her as a leader who motivated others and a friend who always offered encouragement both on and off the field.

While her achievements in athletics were remarkable, Paige’s greatest legacy lies in the love she gave to her family. She will be deeply missed by her mother Suzy and stepfather Doug, her father Jason and stepmother Annette, and her sisters Rachel, Erin, Macenzie, Faith, and Emma.

Paige also held a special place in her heart as a proud aunt to her niece and nephews—Cooper, Willow, and Brooks—who adored her endlessly. Her extended family of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins cherished her deeply and will carry her memory with them forever.

The loss of someone so young has reverberated through the Keswick community and beyond. Tributes have poured in, reflecting the impact Paige had on everyone who knew her.

The Admirals family shared their condolences, stating: “Our Admirals family stands in solidarity with the Callahan family and the entire Golden Hawks community as they mourn the loss of a bright young woman who was taken far too young. Our deepest condolences to everyone who knew and loved Paige. We join you in remembrance of her and her light.”

Another heartfelt message read: “We are deeply saddened by the passing of Paige Callahan, a beloved young Georgina resident. This is an unimaginable loss for her family, and our thoughts are with them during this incredibly difficult time. The pain of losing someone so young is felt deeply across our community, and we are united in grief, compassion, and support. Paige’s light will never be forgotten.”

A celebration of Paige’s life will be announced at a later date, where family, friends, teammates, and community members will come together to honor her remarkable spirit. Proceeds collected through the family’s GoFundMe will go toward her memorial and efforts to preserve her legacy for years to come.

Though her life was far too short, Paige Callahan’s memory will shine forever in the hearts of her loved ones. She will be remembered for her kindness, her love for family, her athletic spirit, and the joy she brought to all who knew her.

Rest easy, sweet Paige. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.
