Just heard on the radio that the victim was heading back to Winnipeg from Edmonton after working as a carnival worker. I can only imagine that as a young guy he got a job with the Red River Ex, made some friends, and was encouraged to follow the tour to Calgary for the Stampede and then Edmonton for Klondike Days (or whatever its called now.)
At 22 that might just be a summer to remember. I sure hope was indeed able to have the time of his life before coming into such a tragedy.
