Friends and family have identified the 10-year-old boy killed in a tragic speedboat collision while tubing in North Vancouver on Saturday.

In an online fundraiser, family friends identified the boy as Lionel, the son of a local fashion designer and a trade and finance contractor, who would have celebrated his 11th birthday next month.

“Lionel was pure joy and a bright light to all who knew him, clever, sweet and
incredibly talented athlete,” the fundraiser states.

Lionel was killed. The other child was taken to hospital in critical condition.

North Vancouver RCMP are investigating whether speed and alcohol were factors in the collision.
