Vancouver, British Columbia – It is with heavy hearts and profound sorrow that we share the passing of Tara Rose Aleck, a beloved daughter, sister, auntie, cousin, and cherished friend to many. Tara’s departure has left a deep void in the hearts of all who knew and loved her, and the grief felt by her family and community is immeasurable.
Tara was a proud and passionate creative spirit. She pursued her dreams in the beauty and fashion industry with determination and grace. In 2003, she studied in the Global Makeup Program at the Blanche Macdonald Centre, one of Canada’s most prestigious beauty and design schools. Though her time there was brief, it was a formative chapter in her journey — one that reflected her love for self-expression, art, and empowering others to feel confident in their own skin.
Tara was a radiant light in the lives of those around her. Known for her vibrant spirit, fierce loyalty, and boundless compassion, she touched countless hearts through her kindness, laughter, and strength. She had a way of making everyone feel seen and heard, and her presence brought warmth and comfort wherever she went.
Whether it was through her words of encouragement, her listening ear, or her ability to brighten even the darkest days with her humor and infectious smile, Tara lived her life rooted in love and authenticity. She was the kind of person who showed up — for her family, her friends, and her community — time and time again.
Those fortunate enough to know Tara remember her not only for her generous heart but also for her resilience and courage. She carried her joys and sorrows with grace and inspired those around her to keep going, no matter the challenges life presented. Tara believed in the strength of connection and community, and she was always willing to lend a hand or speak up for what was right.
The news of Tara’s passing has sent ripples through the many circles she was part of — from close relatives and lifelong friends to colleagues and acquaintances who were touched by her goodness. Though her time with us has come to an end, her memory will remain forever etched in the stories, laughter, and love she shared with us all.
At this time, her family is in the process of making arrangements to honor and celebrate Tara’s life. Details regarding memorial services and final arrangements will be announced once finalized. The family appreciates your patience, prayers, and continued support during this incredibly difficult time.
