A funeral was held Saturday afternoon for the 18-year-old that died while in provincial government care two weeks ago.

Alex Gervais fell to his death from a fourth-floor window at a Super 8 hotel in Abbotsford on Sept. 18. He had been housed in the hotel for two months prior to the incident, and officials believe the teen took his own life.

Mourners filled an Abbotsford funeral home this weekend, remembering the young man.

“He was a joy to raise, every day was a joy,” says his father, Pierre Gervais.

Several of the teen’s best friends spoke to CTV News after the funeral.

“It hasn't hit me completely,” says Dallas Durham. “I feel like I'm going to wake up and he's going to call me tomorrow. That's how I feel right now. Emotionless, empty.”

“I have just so many good fond memories that I’ll never be able to have again,” said Cameron Pelly.

Friends said social workers should have known the teen was struggling with suicidal thoughts; a few months ago he even posted a goodbye message on social media. Gervais death has launched a review of the case, and the system.

“It's nice closure to having things happen and seeing they're doing things for other kids in the children and family development,” says friend Dylan Pelly.

The Ministry of Children and Family confirms Gervais was not the only youth being housed in a hotel.

Premier Christy Clark now says he only way to find some answers is through a review of the case, which the Children's Ministry is conducting.
