On November 6th, Liam unexpectly passed away leaving behind his beloved wife Lisa of 9 years and their four children: Hendrik, Annalise, Peter, and Edward.

God, in his timing, called his child William Peter Helder home. Born on November 21, 1987 at St. Joseph's Hospital in Hamilton, Liam was a true Hamilton boy—never living more than 5 kilometres from the hospital in which he was born, and always cheering for the Ticats.

Outgoing and gregarious, if Liam decided he wanted to be your friend, you didn't have much of a say in the matter. No matter where he went, he brought people together—at church, in the neighbourhood, or elsewhere—and was generous with his time and attention.

Liam was always larger than life. He loved his family, friends, and church family deeply, and was a dedicated father and husband—always seeking to help his wife and kids be the best versions of themselves. He took pride in his roles as a father, husband, friend, and colleague, and sought to do his best in all things, no matter the circumstances.

We are raising funds to help support his wife and four children in this extremely difficult time, covering immediate expenses and helping them financially as they navigate a future life without Liam. Any contribution will make a meaningful difference. Your support will honor his memory and provide some relief to those who loved him dearly.

Thank you!
