P.A. teen killed in car accident had “heart of a boxer,” friend says
Prince Albert’s Will Skopyk is being remembered as a kind person with a true passion for the sport he loved most, boxing.
The 17-year-old was tragically killed in a two-vehicle collision July 24 on White Star Road, northeast of Prince Albert. Dawson Williams was Skopyk’s training partner at the Thomas Settee Boxing Club, and said they had trained together for years, pushing each other hard every night.
“I don’t have anyone else in my life that really pushes me the way Will did as a boxer, so the first thing that comes to mind is I’ll never be able to train the same again,” Williams said.
Williams said his friend had the heart of a boxer and would talk constantly about his favourite sport.
