With heavy hearts we announce the passing of our beautiful Bohdan on July 5th, 2024.

Beloved father of Aleksandr and Nikolas, whom he adored, loving brother of Halya and Dianne, brother in law to Danny, and a thoughtful uncle to all of his nieces and nephews.

Bohdan was born in Toronto on June 5, 1960 to Marta and Stefan Kuchmij, who immigrated to Canada from Western Ukraine. He will be best remembered for his loving heart, kindness, gentleness, compassion, curiosity, sense of humour, professionalism and devotion to his family.

Some of his favorite things were traveling, the outdoors, camping, science fiction, his Ukrainian heritage and his love for animals.

Bohdan earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Toronto, and a degree in Slavic Studies at the University of British Columbia.

He was a Sub-Lieutenant in the Royal Canadian Navy. After his release from the military, he became an immigration officer for the CBSA.

Bohdan may your spirit always live on and may your star always shine bright. We love you and you will be missed.

"This world was never made for someone as beautiful as you."
