Lightning-strike victim was promising young man
By Siri AGRELL,
Page L2
In March, Michael
JURIST told a campus paper at Georgetown University
that he had been impressed by visiting Nobel Peace Prize winner
Mohammad Yunus.
"It was inspiring because he was humble," he said of the economist's
address.
This week, Friends of the 22-year-old Toronto man described Mr.
JURIST
in similar terms following his sudden death. He was struck by
lightning last week near his family's vacation home in Hilton
Head, S.C.
Accomplished, attractive and intelligent, Mr.
JURIST was described
most often by those who knew him as being humble, an uncommon
virtue in the realm of tony private schools, Ivy League colleges
and job offers in New York and London to which Mr.
JURIST had
propelled himself.
A recent graduate of Georgetown's Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign
Service living in New York, Mr.
JURIST was an only child, raised
in Toronto by his parents Paul and Vesna. His mother, who was
walking with him on the beach, was also hit by the lightning
strike but did not suffer serious physical injuries.
"They started to head back when they saw the storm coming," Joheida
Fister, a spokeswoman for the Town of Hilton head Island Fire and
Rescue Division, told the local media. "I guess it came too quickly."
Mr. JURIST attended Upper Canada College, where he played tennis
and was elected by his peers as the head of McHugh House.
At university in Washington, D.C., he volunteered with the Corp,
a non-profit campus corporation that provides students with low-cost
goods and services, and acted as chairman of Georgetown's lecture
fund, where he brought high-profile speakers to campus.
Last October, he was called upon to soothe the student outcry
sparked by the impending address of a controversial guest, Chris
Simcox, president of the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps, an anti-immigration
group.
"I recognize that he's a controversial figure and that some people
may have a problem with him. But his group has played a major
role in the mainstream," Mr.
JURIST told the campus newspaper
at the time. "And I hope everyone respects our rights to bring
someone who represents another side of the debate."
It was this passionate, measured intelligence that was most remarkable
to his Friends and school mates.
"You hear it so often when there's a tragedy like this, that
it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy, but there's not too
many guys out there that were nicer than him," said Mike
ANNECCHINI,
a Toronto resident who went to Upper Canada College with Mr.
JURIST
and described his former classmate as a natural leader.
When Mr. ANNECCHINI lost the position of head of house to Mr.
JURIST,
he remembers his friend, the immensely popular, athletic student
who would ace his Scholastic Assessment Tests and pass up admission
to Harvard, telling him bashfully: "You really should have got
it."
On Facebook, hundreds of Friends of the Toronto man formed mourning
groups and planned gatherings in New York and Washington to pay
tribute to his memory.
In Toronto, a memorial will be held at Upper Canada College's
Laidlaw Hall tonight at 6 p.m.
John BITOVE, a former neighbour of the
JURIST family, said his
sons, 19 and 17, are devastated by the loss of their childhood
playmate.
"He was a great role model for my two boys," he said. "He was
just a very well-mannered, respectful, wonderful child. The model
child."
