Becky Strang
Carol and Family,
There are simply no words that can be said, when such a tragedy occurs. And, trying to make sense of it; is truly pointless. Kerian touched many lives the short time he was here, Will has so many good memories. Hold tight to all of those good memories, and know that we are all here for you, in whatever manner you need. Even if it is to just hold your hand and sit with you.
Geoff and Julie Maver and family
Carol and family – We are so sorry for your loss. Keiran was a fantastic kid. I had the pleasure of coaching him in hockey and I will always remember how calm and cool he was. We enjoyed the drives to games and practices with you both. We hope your memories will bring you comfort in this difficult time. Geoff, Julie, Ben, Ali and Elsie

Carla Goodfellow
Carol & family we have no words. We are so sorry for your loss.
Carol, I told you this story a couple of years ago at the arena and I loved seeing how proud you were of him. When Keiran was a Peewee goalie he played with our oldest son Jordan. At a tournament that fall he played mini sticks all weekend at the hotel with our younger son, Brody, 4 yrs younger. Brody came home after that weekend saying, I want to be a goalie just like Keiran and the next season he did. We’ll always remember Keiran for the impact he had on our son. He inspired him with his kindness. He was a great kid. . Our deepest sympathies to the family. We’re so heartbroken for you.
