Friends look to honour P.A. man who died in Australia
A Prince Albert man is hoping to create a special memorial to pay his respects to a friend who recently died.
Adam Halyk started a GoFundMe campaign to help raise money to build a beach volleyball court in the name of his friend Nigel Weir.
“Nigel got adopted into my family, he was best friends with my younger brother Evan, instead of him driving out to Tweedsmuir every night after [volleyball and basketball] practice, he would just stay at our house,” said Halyk. “He went on quite a few family trips with us.”
Halyk said that he and Weir worked together after Weir graduated from high school, and also were roomates in university for two years as well before Weir left for Australia for his final year of school.
