A Farewell Message for a Lecturer Who Passed Away
You always seemed in control, and now I realize that you were. Your knowledge will always be with us, even though we’re still sad you won’t be. Goodbye, Professor
It’s hard for me to put into words what your presence did for my life, I can only recount how much I loved you, how much you changed me from being an individual to a part of a greater whole.
Looking back now, I can say that you have positively influenced my life more than any teacher has ever done. You were a great teacher, mentor and friend. You made me think of things in ways I never thought of before.
I don’t know why, but every time I saw you, I felt a little flutter in my heart. All I wanted to do was watch you, casually socialize and maybe drop by your office hours just to catch the scent of your perfume.
I loved every second with all my heart, and although we didn’t have much time to cover the materials, at least now I get to cherish the memories. Your smile brightened up the room and your charismatic personality kept us all engaged in the lessons!
You truly brightened up my days with your lessons and stories and so many funny thoughts you shared with us that made me laugh so hard. You’ll be dearly missed by all of us students who knew you, and will never be forgotten by any of us.
You inspired so many, and lead by example. Nothing but love, respect, and admiration will be held for you. I’ll never forget your laugh, your sarcastic smile and modest care for others. You will never walk alone!
You have been there through this course and really given us lots of advice and support along the way. Your lessons with stories and real examples were always an eye-
I don’t think I’ve laughed that hard in my life until I heard the joke about the president of Mexico jumping over the Mexican-American border! May you rest in peace, and thank you for all the entertainment!
I will miss you always. You were the best lecturer and teacher I ever had. I never forget your passion for everything you did. Your students are so lucky that they could meet you.
I think he would be smiling to see us here today, talking about him, remembering his life/teaching style, and each of us telling our favorite Mr. Thompson stories! Thank you all for coming just to talk about a great man. I know he is smiling down from heaven right now.
I knew not where this journey would lead to, but with your joking and laughter we reached many great heights and valleys. In a blink of an eye and without warning you were gone. We will never forget you!
We all love you to death and we miss you dearly . Our class will never be the same without you and our lives won’t be either . Rest in peace professor. I promise I’ll pass my finals!
I know it’s been a rough year for you and I just want to send you off with a positive message. It has been the greatest honor of my life to be able to spend the last few years of my life learning from you. I know you’re going to continue teaching even after your time on earth is over! RIP
I will miss you everyday. Every time I sit at this desk, I will think of you and all the wonderful words of wisdom you gave to me. Thank you for being such an important part of my life.
I will never forget you. Thank you for helping me through college. Your education and wisdom has touched many lives, including mine. Your legacy will live on forever in all of us who were lucky enough to have you as our teacher.
When you were here I felt like I could accomplish anything in this subject. You made it seem so easy and clear. Your lessons gave me the motivation to keep going after a long day of schooling.
Thank you for changing my life in ways you’ll never know. I will miss you terribly, but I am grateful for having the honor to know you and learn from you. Rest assured knowing that I carry a piece of you with me every day and that I am still better for it. You will never be forgotten.
I’ll never forget your smile, it was always a site to see. I’ll never forget the times we would talk, or all of my school projects you helped me with. I will always have you in my heart and my mind, as you were one of the best people I knew.
I met you one semester in my university days. A female lecturer who was new to the university and a fountain of love and knowledge. You introduced us to the meanings of words such as hope, “thoughts” and above all the freedom we have never captured.
I’m sorry I never had the chance to tell you how much you meant to me. I am not going to lie, there were times when I couldn’t stand you and wanted to punch you in the face.
I have enjoyed your speaking voice these past 2.5 years of class, and it brought a smile to my face each time I heard it. You always seemed know what to say to make us laugh or to inspire us. I will miss that the most.
I don’t know why, but every time I saw you, I felt a little flutter in my heart. All I wanted to do was watch you, casually socialize and maybe drop by your office hours just to catch the scent of your perfume.
I hope that wherever you are now, you can see that this weekend was the absolute best.
I will always remember our last class. I can see you sitting in front of me as you write about your life. You told us that it was time, and that you were ready to go. You had a long happy life, and you left with no regrets. I love you, and I will miss you dearly. Goodbye.
I’ll never forget the way you used to write on the board with all of your energy and passion for writing. I had a hard time understanding our business communications course, but you made it easy. I enjoyed class and will miss your presence. The essays you assigned were very thought provoking, as well as interesting and engaging. Please rest in peace.
We will miss you dearly, but the time we shared with you will never be forgotten. You will not be forgotten by the students, staff, faculty, administration or your colleagues.
You are my mentor and my inspiration. You are truly one of the great ones. I admire your work so much, but more importantly, I admire your character. It was an honor to learn from you, to be a part of your team. You will be missed dearly. I hope that you will find peace with God.”
You will be missed. You were a great lecturer in our eyes. Thank you for showing us the ropes. You were a true hero, I’m so glad you came into our lives.
Your class was one of the best classes of my life. You inspired me to do more with my degree, and always gave amazing comments on my papers. I will miss you and what you brought to my life forever.
You are the best and most amazing lecturer a student will ever have. You taught us so much in such a short amount of time. We really do appreciate all your hard work! You will be missed, but never forgotten.
I always admired your bravery, for you shared your passions with the world while fearlessly facing criticism. Live the life you wanted, not the one others forced you to. It is your life. I will miss you professor!
As you close your eyes for the last time, I would like to tell you that you changed my life in so many ways. You bestowed upon me, a quality education and some of the classic children’s literature I remember to this day. Your passion for teaching lives on in me and I know I can carry it through my life and into adulthood. Thank you for everything!
I feel so terrible, you died two days ago, the news was so unexpected. I can’t believe it! This week has been pretty hard for me. Actually let me rephrase that, this year has been hard to deal with, and your death was just one more thing to add on to that list. But of course, I will miss you for the rest of my life. I hope you are in a better place.
Everyone is so very sad that you are gone. You were such a beautiful, bright, sharp, passionate and funny person. A truly inspiring lecturer with a heart of gold. Rest in Peace. We will miss you!
Life is a series of fun and unhappy moments. You touched so many lives with your presence and you will be missed. Gone but never forgotten.
You were an amazing man. I will never forget what you did for me. You have made a difference in my life that can never be replaced. I will always cherish the memories I have and the help you provided me on this course. Your passing is a great loss to us all, but you will definitely be missed.
I will miss you dearly. We all have been blessed to have had you in our lives. I hope heaven is treating you kind. You will never be forgotten.
I wish I ended up being a better student, I had you as a lecturer 2 years ago in one of my classes. You were one of the best lecturers I’ve had here at UBC.
You would be very proud of all your students, you shaped us so much, you gave us the inspiration and ambition to pursue our dreams, and a future striving for a better education system. We will all miss you dearly.
It is with saddness that we say goodbye. We know the end has finally come, but while you were with us you brought us some of the most joyful times we have ever had.
Thank you for being my lecturer, it is a privilege to have known you. I am not a close friend of yours, but I can feel your love and sincerity for the students. From the first day I saw you, I knew that we could connect. Talking to you gave me more confidence to speak up in class from then on.
Thank you for being a wonderful lecturer. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge with us, thank you for answering questions, and the countless times you have gone out of your way to help me. Your assistance has been so valuable and greatly appreciated. There really aren’t enough words to express my gratitude. But thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you for everything, even though it was short. In the short time you have been around here, you have taught me a lot about life. I will miss your sunday classes and talking to you after class. Thank you for making my life better and giving me something to strive for.
I’m not sure if you are aware of this but as a lecturer one of your duties is to tell jokes at parties. You were truly great at it and everyone loved it.
While you are a stranger to most, you were a special friend to me. I will miss you. The academic world has lost a bright star and I can’t help but be saddened. You will always live on in my memory. I’ll see you soon. Rest in peace…
I lost my favourite professor after all the years. I met her at a very young age, she always inspired me to be a better person, someone great. Her teaching methods were brilliant. I hope you inspire others as much as you inspired me. Though I won’t see you again on this earth, I’ll keep you in my heart forever. Rest in peace dear.
My heart is heavy because you are gone. You passed away far too young. Your loss has caused me many tears, but I will continue on in your footsteps. I love you and have learned so much from you. Rest in peace, my friend!
Your passion, sincerity, and humanity always left a lasting impact on those around you. You were a great lecturer and friend, and inspired many of us to believe in ourselves. You will truly be missed.
Your funeral was very beautiful. I had to leave after the first 15 minutes, because they started to play a sad song about you. It was hard for me.
Thank you for looking out for me, for being a friend to me when I had trouble adjusting to my new town. You were more than just a teacher, but you knew how to treat people right with respect and love. You will be greatly missed . You were an amazing man. Love, your student ___.

The time of our lives is up. The semester has ended and we have graduated. But you will always be remembered in our hearts. You were a great teacher and I hope you are at peace now. Thank you for everything you did for us all these years, we will never forget!
Life was tragic enough already and now you are gone. Even when you sat in the front of the class, it seemed that your mind was somewhere else. Blindly I followed your instructions as we performed experiments together.
In this world, where the highest pursuits are selfish ones, your name will never fade. You embodied the spirit of learning – taking in knowledge and passing it on to others who wish to learn. May you rest in peace, knowing that you have touched countless lives.
Miss you so much. I’ll never forget your lessons and wisdom. The world is a happier place because you were in it.
I promise to continue your lessons of passion for the rest of my life, your are and always will be my inspiration, my mentor and my hero. Goodbye for now, RIP.
This is for you, and for the students who are too afraid to say anything. You were and always will be my mentor. Your time here was too short but it impacted people in a way no one will ever know.
It was a privilege to work with you. You were a great teacher and mentor. I am fortunate to have been able to learn from you in class and through your columns and books. I will miss your enthusiasm, passion, and amazing sense of humour during our sessions together. The world has lost a great man. Keep flying high up in the sky!
When life knocks you down think of how many people get up and dust themselves off every day. Just remember, the same sun that melts the butter hardens the egg. Just keep pushing on life is worth living.
