Nikita, Aadi and myself were the first three to get a group together in fundraising and building FRCs' Drumline. This is actually when we first got acquainted with each other. His love for drumming brought us together in taking up this challenge.
I remember from the very first days, how many great memories were made.
From going to each store around Fort Richmond, asking for sponsorships for our fundraiser, to considering asking for a sponsorship from "The Joint" (purely comedic intentions of course), to ransacking the band room percussion section and moving it to the center of the FRC track field and playing for the Terri Fox Runs, the amount of joy we shared with each other was and always will be absolutely priceless.
Nikita had a beautiful and considerate heart. Always lending a helping hand when needed and being there just to jam out.
Nikita, I will miss him dearly, and I know his friends will as well. My deepest and sincere condolences to his parents and family.
Sincerely, your friend forever,
Ranishka Jayakody
