The second Centennial College student killed by an alleged impaired driver in Toronto last month has been laid to rest.

"He's the student every professor wants to see in class. He's there, he's getting those grades, he's incredibly passionate about his subject -- food and beverage -- and he really wants to make a difference."

For international students who live in the Progress Campus residence at Centennial College and are spending the holidays in Toronto, there is no escaping the reminder that two of their residence mates were killed on Sunday.
