Jonathan Hauck Memorial Scholarship

Jonathan Hauck

Jonathan Hauck was an active member of Kanata Little League Baseball as both a player and a volunteer. He was a talented musician at an Arts high school playing guitar, bass, and French horn, who went on to study History and Political Science at Carleton University. He also worked part time jobs on and off campus. His passion outside of work and school was his car and all things automotive. As a young adult he was hardworking, outgoing, and helpful whenever the opportunity arose. In March 2009 Jonathan had a heart failure while attending classes at Carleton and died. His unexpected passing left a lasting effect on all those who knew him. This scholarship is established to help us remember Jon and his everlasting spirit.
