Fundraiser launched in support of wife, children of Aaron Timmers
A Salmon Arm man is being remembered as a loving father and someone who inspired Shuswap youths with his love for the outdoors.
Leanne Blurton speaks with a mix of grief and laughter as she reflects on the life of family friend Aaron Timmers.
“He was always smiling,” said Blurton. “He joked that I was his second wife because my husband works out of town… He would look after my kids with Tamara’s kids so we could go out together. He was an uncle to my daughters for sure.”
Aaron was killed in a motor-vehicle collision on Highway 1 east of Salmon Arm on Monday, Oct. 26. Police said road conditions were a factor behind the accident.
Blurton said she’s been a close friend of the Timmers, Tamara and husband Aaron, for about 17 years. With Tamara and her children, Owen and Ivy, grieving over their loss, Blurton set up a Gofundme fundraising page, titled In Loving Memory of Aaron Timmers, to help with any financial challenges.
