People who knew the three teenagers killed in a car crash on Nov. 11<\/a> near Hanover, Ont., are remembering them as selfless, happy young people whose lives were cut short too soon. <\/p>\n

A fourth teen, whose name hasn’t been released, remains in hospital in London and is being treated for serious injuries, according to police. <\/p>\n

The four students at John Diefenbaker Senior School (JDSS) in Hanover were on a drive at lunchtime following a Remembrance Day ceremony, a parent told CBC News. <\/p>\n

Crash leaves 3 teens dead, 1 in hospital in Hanover, Ont.<\/p>\n

Three young people are dead and a fourth is in hospital with life-threatening injuries after a single-vehicle crash near Hanover, Ont. The crash comes just six months after another crash that killed four teens and their teacher in a nearby community.<\/p>\n

The tragedy comes just six months after another Ontario crash, which killed four high school students and their teacher<\/a> from nearby Walkerton.<\/p>\n

Here are the names of the three teens who died in the Hanover crash and how those close to them are remembering them.<\/p>\n

Tyson Varley loved the outdoors and wanted to become a small-engine mechanic, his family said. <\/p>\n

“He was well known for his love of cars and tinkering with them,” his obituary says. “He knew well how to make and fix things. He had a passion for lawnmowers, four-wheeling and mud.” <\/p>\n

Tyson grew up in Holstein with two little sisters. A celebration of life is planned for Sunday in Holstein.<\/p>\n

Born in Hanover, Damon “arrived with a fierceness and was immediately loved,” a first-born child who was temperamental and bossy, and loved to be loud, his family said. <\/p>\n

“Under that tough exterior laid a little boy with a huge heart,” according to his obituary. He enjoyed being a big brother to his younger siblings, as well as horsing around with his cousins. <\/p>\n

“Damon enjoyed life both in town and on his grandparents\u2019 farm where he learned the value of hard work,” his family said. “Damon was taught from a long line of men, including his grandpas and dad, to repair just about anything around the farm, from tractors to lawnmowers.”<\/p>\n

He also loved playing video games with friends and sending voice chats. The teen was working toward a specialist high-skills major as an automotive service technician. Davis volunteered at the Hanover Care Centre, a long-term care facility. <\/p>\n

His family’s planned a public funeral in Hanover on Tuesday, and is asking for donations to the London Children’s Hospital.<\/p>\n

Haley loved mismatched socks, so her family has requested that people attending her celebration of life in early December wear those. <\/p>\n

Keffer leaves behind her beloved dog, Bella, and her big brother. <\/p>\n

“We will forever remember Haley’s bright spirit, her laughter, and the joy she brought while spending time with her friends and family,” a person who knew her wrote in an online memorial. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to this article Estimated 3 minutes The audio version of this article is generated by text-to-speech, a…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":386107,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[2147,50],"class_list":{"0":"post-386106","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-canada","9":"tag-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115567240599713165","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386106","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=386106"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386106\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/386107"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=386106"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=386106"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=386106"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
