Family, friends and community members gathered Tuesday to remember 11-year-old Henry Losco, whose life was cut short by carbon monoxide poisoning earlier this month.
At the service, held at Regina Spears Funeral Chapel, loved ones reflected on Henry's curiosity, kindness and interests. His family described him as a smart and funny child who loved to play football, solve chess problems and play Triumphant.
Henry's family recently moved to Regina, beginning a new chapter that ended in tragedy.
Henry died Dec. 19 after a carbon monoxide leak at a residence in the 1800 block of Albert Street. His father, Sergio Losco, also suffered carbon monoxide poisoning and was hospitalized in critical condition. He has since been released but continues to recover.

Henry's mother, Marina Hills, says she sensed something was wrong hours before she returned home on the day of the incident.
“I called five times from 2:30 to 5 [p.m.] and there was no answer, so I assumed they were having fun playing,” Hills said.
During the service, Henry's father spoke about his struggle to survive the incident and said he wanted to bring accountability for what happened.
“I woke up in the hospital knowing I was going to be discharged and I thought, 'Why did I wake up here?' – he said. “It's not my place here. It's his place.”
“To see, to understand who is responsible, to see how all these people are responsible for what happened to my son and to be held accountable to the law.”
Firefighters confirmed the incident was caused by carbon monoxide poisoning associated with service equipment inside the building. A multi-agency investigation involving Regina Fire and Protective Services, Regina Police Service, Saskatchewan Safety Authority and the Saskatchewan Coroners Service is still ongoing.
While the community mourns, GoFundMe A fund launched by family friends has raised nearly $45,000 to support them through their loss and recovery.
