Hogan-Asante, Breanne Selena
In Loving Memory of
Breanne Selena Hogan-Asante
2001 – 2026
It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Breanne Selena Hogan-Asante, who passed away surrounded by her loved ones at Hamilton General Hospital on January 9, 2026, at the age of 24.
Breanne was a beloved and devoted mummy to her cherished son, Sterling, who was the centre of her world. She was a truly wonderful mother — strong, loving, and deeply committed to giving Sterling a life filled with adventure, opportunity, and joy. She loved spending time with him fishing and camping, creating memories rooted in laughter, curiosity, and the outdoors.
She will be remembered as a beautiful soul — strong-willed and stubborn in the way that spoke to her determination, yet endlessly kind, loving, and compassionate. Those who knew her will remember her warmth, her strength, and her unwavering love for those closest to her.
Breanne was the cherished daughter of Erin and Vernell and the treasured granddaughter of Herbert Walmsley and Breanne’s beloved “Momma,” Heather. She was a loving sister to Liam, beloved niece to Ryan and many aunts and uncles, a cousin to Scarlett and Owen, and will be deeply missed by her many friends whose lives she touched in countless ways.
She loved school and took great pride in her education. A dedicated and driven student, Breanne graduated with honours from the Registered Practical Nursing program at McMaster University. Her commitment to caring for others continued as she was accepted, with a scholarship, into the Nurse Practitioner Program.
A devoted Catholic, her faith was an important part of her life and guided her values of kindness and love. Outside of her studies and motherhood, she had a deep love for music — especially R&B and hip-hop — and enjoyed singing. She also pursued modeling, embracing self-expression with confidence and grace.
Breanne’s passing leaves an immeasurable void in the lives of those who loved her. She will be remembered for her strength, her love, her beauty, and the fierce devotion she had for her son.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date with details to be announced.

My deepest condolences, Bree was such beautiful soul. I went to elementary school with her she was always kind, even though we didn’t personally go into adulthood together, she always ensured to send me a message on social media every now and then just being her kind self❣️🙏🏼
Rest in paradise, beautiful ❤️
You are such Bree Selena Hogan-Asante
You gained your angel wings too soon.
You were also someone I could ask advice for. You endured such heart ache in your life, but always came out so much stronger.
Your son, is so blessed to have had you as his momma. You are his rock, his biggest advocate and biggest fan. You ALWAYS made sure he had everything and anything he could possible want. You made sure his room was the best room, any son could ask for. You taught him so many things, and showed absolute love and devotion to him.
Seeing you absolutely destroy nursing school, and come out with perfect marks, with your son by your side, is truly inspiring.
You always, made the impossible, possible.
We will all make sure, Sterling knows who is momma is and how strong and powerful she is.
God will take care of you now.
Until we meet again ❤️
Where do I start….

Always made the best out of the crummiest situations. Watching you so passionate about your career, faith and your family is something i will always remember you for. ❤️ heaven definitely gained a beautiful angel… Im so sorry again ❤️ Sending lots of love to your family and you through this time.

Breanne and I grew up together—she was my next-door neighbour and a very good friend. Although we lost touch as our lives changed and we became young adults with families of our own, She is in my thoughts, and my prayers go out to Erin, Vern, and the entire family.
Breanne was always a shining light. She was constantly singing, making people smile, and giving me so many laughs and unforgettable memories. From the Sound of Music festival, to all the playdates growing up, to the backyard jam sessions—I’ll always remember her singing Halo by Beyoncé.
Breanne, now you’re shining up above us with your beautiful halo. Your legacy lives on through your son. You will never be forgotten. Rest easy 🤍🪽
Such a beautiful kind soul Going to miss you so much sweet girl 😭 Fly high beautiful Just can imagine writing my condolences to a young soul me and Bree met through a friend back In 2022 and have been unimaginably close ever since 😢 Just completely heartbroken that my precious friend is gone 💔
Sending prayers and thoughts to you all as you grieve this amazing woman💕
She Mark and I with beautiful memories of a child full of love and beautiful energy
Over the years didn’t speak often but occasionally thru Facebook, where we watched her music , become a mom, and in September graduate Nursing.
An amazing woman , who touched many of us as a child and adult.
We know now she rests with her Lord and Savior. .
Beautiful Bree
I can hardly believe I’m writing condolences for someone so young and full of life and ambitions.
I had the pleasure of meeting my classmate, who we all affectionately called “Bree,” during nursing school. She was such a calm, humble soul, always willing to help others.
Beautiful Bree, rest in perfect peace. 🤍
I’m praying that God strengthens your family during this time, especially your son. It was so evident how deeply you loved him. 💔🙏🏽
