After passing away in a terrible accident, TikTok star Tanya Pardazi was remembered at a funeral and on social media this week.

 

The 21-year-old Canadian influencer, who was also a philosophy student at the University of Toronto, passed away on August 27 from wounds sustained during a skydive in which her parachute failed to deploy in time. She was buried on September 2 after a memorial service in Richmond Hill, Ontario.

 

One of the attendees said during a eulogy at the burial, which the Elgin Mills Funeral Centre aired online, according to The National Post, "What Tanya did during 21 years, I suppose many people fail to fulfil even in 80 or 90 years."

 

The majority of those there, according to the newspaper, donned white as they sat before a white casket and listened to Sarah McLachlan's "Angel" while viewing a montage of pictures from Pardazi's life. The TikTok star claimed to have learnt 18 lessons by the time she turned 18 years old, including "Don't take yourself so seriously, nothing matters in the grand scheme anyway," which was read aloud by another speaker after her.

 

According to Melody Ozgoli, a childhood friend of Pardazi, she died after falling to the ground while making her first solo dive with Skydive Toronto on August 30.

 

In a statement posted on Facebook, Skydive Toronto said that on August 27, "a skydiving student, age 21, succumbed to tragic injuries gained from an emergency situation." The skydiver "launched a rapidly rotating main parachute at a low altitude without the time/height required for the reserve parachute to expand," the business claimed.

 

According to the business, the student "was a welcomed recent addition to the skydiving community and will be missed among the student's new friends and fellow jumpers of Skydive Toronto Inc. The team at Skydive Toronto is currently working with the South Simcoe Police. It was also stated that the South Simcoe Police "are investigating the incident."
