Tyler's obituary:
Tyler Owen Ketchum – Medicine Bear Man July 30 1986 – March 7 2011
After a courageous battle with a brain tumour it is with deep regret that we announce that Tyler Owen Ketchum - Medicine Bear Man, lost his fight Tuesday afternoon.
Left to cherish Tyler’s memories are his beloved furry friend ‘Fat Cat’, his mother Vivian Ketchum, his father Lenny McKay, his brothers and sisters Ryan, Daryl, Stephanie, Jestine, Eddie, and Lenny Jr, his grandmother Agnes McKay, his ‘other mother’ Leona McKay, and his best friend Glen George.
Tyler’s numerous Aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, teachers, floor hockey buddies, and his coworkers at Viewpoints, Garda, and APTN will all miss Tyler’s caring nature, his smile, and his sense of humour.
Active pallbearers will be Lenny McKay, Edwin Everett, Joey Everett, Ernie Delorand, Bobby McKay, Larry Mckay, Roseanna Daigle and Leonard Beardy. Honorary pallbearers will be all those who deeply loved Tyler.
The family will be forever grateful to Dr Kauffman and the neurosurgical team at Health Science Centre, the nurses on A5 and in SICU, the numerous doctors and health care team members, Traditional Elder, Roger Armitte, family, friends, and Rev Margaret for walking with them and Tyler through Tyler’s final stage of life.
A wake service will be held on Thursday March 10 at 7 p.m. followed by a Funeral service on Friday March 11 at Salvation Army -Weetamah 324 Logan Avenue with the Rev Margaret Mullin Officiating. Internment will follow at the Brookside cemetery
aww, Viv....I wanted to be there. Lots of us wanted to be there. I am upset that I wasn't. I was there in spirit tho. I was. I have been talking to that kid since he passed. i have been working 12 hr shifts which is no excuse but i have been thinking of him.
ReplyDeleteI wish i would have known. None of us were there. Oh Vivian, I am sorry, we didn't know it would be so soon. I had a feeling tho.
I would like to say some things and give him my final words before send off..
we love you Tyler and our thoughts are with you. see you on the otherside.
