Jason Keats passed away from cancer on December 22, followed by his wife Robyn who died suddenly in hospital on Boxing Day, leaving their only son Simon orphaned.
Mayor Doug Churchill says it’s an unspeakable tragedy, and the community is doing what it can to help the young teen with funeral expenses and to establish an education fund.
A fundraising concert is planned for this evening at 6:30 at the Pentecostal Church in Glovertown.
He says there’s been a huge outpouring of support for Simon and the extended family. He expects a good turnout for tonight’s concert.
