JEFF VAILLANT
The Taiji community was deeply saddened by the passing in September of Jeff Vaillant. He was an accomplished Tai Chi student and instructor and enjoyed the classes and fellowship under the tutelage of Master Peng. His growth as a Taiji practitioner was further enhanced by workshops with Grandmaster Chen Zhenglei and the winning of medals at the Canadian Wushu Championships in 2022 in Thunder Bay.
He also like to golf with his Dad, play guitar in a band with his Dad and be a goalie for the “old guys” hockey team (again with his Dad). Jeff was a voracious reader, a talented artist, loved spending time at camp, riding his bike and going on hikes and walks. He was a kind and gentle man who cherished his friends and the time spent with them.
He continues to be greatly missed by our Taiji community.
