So full of life, joy
For more reaction on these five students and who they were,
Jordan Segura, 23 Third-year religious studies student at the University of Calgary “He very much had a way about him. For him it was natural. He knew where to be and when to be there . . . He just realized people were hurting and he wanted to help.” — Ernie Hagel, employer and McInnis & Holloway Funeral Home president Lawrence Hong, 27 Fourth-year urban studies student at the University of Calgary “He had such a fire and such a passion to him . . . you don’t see that in a lot of people, especially in their midto late-20s; he wanted the best for everyone and he was incredibly giving.” — David Cooper, friend Josh Hunter, 22 Second-year commerce student at the University of Calgary “He would go out of his way to do anything he could to help people. He was always so happy and never complained.” — Tania Coleman, assistant to the manager, International Hotel and Suites, where Hunter worked as a valet/bellman for two years Kaiti Perras, 23 Former English student at Mount Royal University “She was a role model to many of our dancers. She was kind, gracious and thoughtful with a strong work ethic. We watched Kaiti grow into an exceptional human being. Her smile and energy lit up the stage and our studio. Dance was an integral part of her life, as were the friendships she formed throughout her dance years. Our hearts break for her family.” — Shannon Hearn, director of Counterpoint Dance Academy Marda Loop, where Perras danced Zackariah Rathwell, 23 First-year student at the Alberta College of Art + Design “He was so caring and always made you smile. He was so full of energy. And very charming with the ladies.” — Corlia Zaayman, ACAD student who organized the college’s vigil and was a good friend of Rathwell
