Mya Rogers Obituary, Sarnia, Ontario Death: It is with profound sorrow that we come together to honor the memory of Mya Rogers, a beloved daughter, friend, and cherished member of our community in Sarnia, Ontario. Mya’s untimely passing has left an indescribable void in the hearts of those who knew her, and as we gather to pay tribute to her life, we remember the love, laughter, and light she brought into the world.
Mya was a shining star, illuminating the lives of everyone she encountered. She was the firstborn daughter of Courtney Bressette, who has expressed her heartache and profound loss in this time of grief. In her words, “We’re devastated and heartbroken.” It is impossible to quantify what it means to lose a child, and our hearts go out to Courtney and the family during this unimaginably difficult time.
In the wake of Mya’s passing, Courtney has opened her home at 9101 Eagle Drive for a sacred fire, inviting all of Mya’s friends, family, and community members to come together in a spirit of love and remembrance. This gathering serves as an important opportunity for all of us to share our grief, reflect on the impact Mya had on our lives, and extend our support to Courtney and her family. Through this gathering, we create a space where we can heal together, share our memories, and honor Mya’s remarkable spirit.
Mya was known for her warmth and vibrant personality. She had an innate ability to make others feel at ease, creating an environment filled with laughter and camaraderie. Friends have shared their memories, reminding us of Mya’s joy and the way she embraced life. Kaylas Corner, a dear friend, shared in her own message of support, acknowledging the burden Mya’s passing has placed on her family. In calling for community support to help cover funeral expenses, Kayla emphasized the importance of coming together to help, stating, “If you can help please do! It will be much appreciated and much needed.” This call to action reflects Mya’s spirit—a reminder that we are stronger together.
As we navigate our grief, we have the opportunity to honor Mya’s legacy. Beyond the remembrance of her vibrant spirit, we can band together as a community to support those left behind. Mya’s passing not only creates a loss for her family but also affects the lives of her friends and the community at large. Many of us are experiencing feelings of helplessness, yet we have the power to make a difference through compassion, understanding, and collective action.
In addition to supporting Courtney and her family as they navigate the emotional and financial burdens of this loss, we invite everyone to contribute to the GoFundMe campaign set up to assist with the funeral expenses and other associated costs, including support for Jaijah Ann Wolf. Every contribution, no matter how small, can have an incredible impact on easing these burdens during this vulnerable time. It is in these moments of community solidarity that we truly embody the love Mya shared with all of us.

Mya’s spirit will live on in our memories, our stories, and, most importantly, in the love we continue to extend to one another.
Mya Rogers was a young woman who was just beginning to spread her wings. Although her life was far too short, she touched many lives along the way, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, love, and joy. We must remember that her influence can still be felt in our day-to-day lives; let us carry forth her compassionate spirit by treating one another with love and respect.
In healing and remembering, let us recognize that grief does not have a timeline. Each person experiences loss differently, and it is essential to be gentle and understanding with ourselves and others as we work through our emotions. We gather not just to mourn Mya’s passing but also to celebrate her life, encourage one another, and build connections of support.
