Moose Jaw RCMP and Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) are investigating.

Mike and Carol, Jesse’s mother, said they don’t know what happened when Jesse died. They are waiting for a report from OH&S.

The couple described their son as a good brother who loved snowboarding, motorcycles, fishing and hanging out with his friends.

“He was a good guy, a good worker. He was always there to lend a hand,” Carol said.

Jesse was also a new uncle, with twin nephews born just 8 weeks ago.

“He was pretty proud of those two little boys,” Carol said.

The family said they are still in shock.

“You never want to be burying your children. It’s hard,” Mike said.
