Sylvanus Daniel Adam Klotz

Sylvanus Daniel Adam Klotz, born in Edmonton, AB, on July 14, 1963, led a beautiful and passionate life filled with joy, optimism, and a huge dose of altruism. With a multifaceted career as an ice skater, ballet dancer and choreographer, and yoga/pilates instructor, The God Of The Forest ("Bunnies"), the celestial Sylvanus hopped around the globe with glittering ice-skating performances in Europe, North America, and Asia. His joie-de-vivre, his love of various food explorations, and love for anything in nature (animals, gardening, flowers) were so positively infectious that he had touched and transformed the lives of many along the way. He is survived by his loving husband "bunnies," Aryo Wicaksono, and equally loving sisters Collette Volund and Valerie (Genifer) Brown. He wished everyone to be present, happy, grateful, and ENJOY THE JOURNEY!

A visitation for Sylvanus will be held Wednesday, June 8, 2022 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Rosar-Morrison Funeral Home & Chapel, 467 Sherbourne Street, Toronto, ON M4X 1K5

" Our Nook "

There is a sacred nook

deep in the forest

hidden by moss

nibbled gently by deer…

a place undisturbed

by the limitations of bodies

the limitations of time

the limitations of fear.

Here in this nook

magic resides

fuelled by our love

by the look in your eyes

when you feel our connection

when you know we are one

This place I call “home”

and it’s what we’ve become.

A symphony of music

Erupts from our nook

but the pitch is too high

for average human ears to perceive

and so it is ours especially

to sing, and to hum,

to celebrate and, on occasion, to grieve.

every forest bunny

pricks up their ear

when they feel our music

saturate the air

for they comprehend

what we share ain’t just corporeal

although, don’t get me wrong,

you are beyond adorable

But the bunnies, they know

how deep and how true

our connection withstands

our devotion, like glue

which secures any fragments

that threaten to fall

we reinforce our foundation

inspire each other to stand tall

because once a nook has nestled

into moss, or into dirt

it’s inconsequential what it’s filled with

be it rainwater, or hurt

this cavern was crafted

by you and by me

and the magic therein

will dance for eternity.
