BOCKA : Benjamin Bocka was born on March 23, 1992 in Novi Sad, Serbia. He was a perfect baby and had a happy childhood. He always wished to have a brother or a sister. He didn't want to be alone. His wish came true when he was 4 years old and his sister was born. He was the happiest kid in the world when he saw his baby sister. He loved her and cared for her like a father would. Everyone was amazed at how good a brother he was. He finished Elementary School in Lalic where he had many friends. He started High School in Vrbas but did not finish it because in 2008 we moved to Canada in hope to live a better life. It was hard for him to say goodbye to all his friends but he made new ones shortly after coming to Canada. Benjamin did not like school very much. He lived in the moment not worrying about tomorrow. He liked to have fun, freedom and he used every moment to enjoy life. A lot of times he asked what his purpose was. He would say "I don't have a special talent or a hobby and I don't know what to be in the future but I believe that every person came to this world with a reason." He believed in God and had a good soul. Why he left this world so soon is hard to understand and to deal with. We can look for different explanations but only God knows the real reason, so it's best to leave it for Him. Benjamin lives and will forever live in our hearts.
