According to her family’s published obituary, Saiya Sharma was born on July 30, 2011, and passed away on October 31, 2026. Her family described her as a loving, compassionate, witty and outspoken young girl whose personality could brighten any room.
Saiya was remembered for her infectious laughter, adventurous spirit and remarkable ability to make people feel understood and appreciated. Those closest to her described someone who was never afraid to express herself and who brought happiness to the people around her.
One of her greatest passions was horseback riding. She discovered her love for horses at just five years old, and riding remained an important part of her life. Her connection with Vanbrook Equestrian and her favourite horse, Tilly, created memories that her loved ones will treasure.
She also enjoyed track and field, particularly sprinting and long jump. Whether riding horses or competing on the track, Saiya approached the activities she loved with enthusiasm and determination.
Above everything else, family meant the world to her. She shared a special relationship with her sister, Ria, and younger brother, Elijah. Her parents, Santana Mohan and Bobby Sharma, described her as their sunshine and a source of endless laughter.
The family shared that their lives have been changed forever by her passing. Saying goodbye to someone so deeply loved is never easy, particularly when that person had so much life ahead of her.
Funeral services were held at Glen Oaks Funeral Home on November 12, 2026, following visitation on November 11 and 12.
Saiya’s memory will live on through the family, friends and countless people who experienced her kindness, humour and unforgettable personality.
