CALGARY- The family of a young father who was killed on Saturday night after meeting with a new neighbour is being remembered as the type of person who would drop everything to help someone in need.
Police were called to the 100 block of Auburn Springs Close S.E. around 11:30 on Saturday night. It’s believed that after meeting, two men went to a home and began drinking. That night, a fight broke out and a call to 911 was made by someone else in the home. When officers arrived, they found a man suffering from critical injuries. He died at the scene.

The victim has since been identified by family as 31-year-old Craig Kelloway, a father who was originally from Cape Breton. He was a popular teacher at David Thompson School Middle School, where he taught science.
“Craig cared for everyone with his big heart and our hearts are now breaking with the loss of such a wonderful man,” said his cousin Deneca Mombourquette, in an e-mail to Global News.
Kelloway moved to Calgary six years ago to begin his teaching career, after graduating from St. Francis Xavier University and Acadia University.
“He loved his students and took great pride in watching them excel, not only academically but also outside the classroom by coaching various teams,” Mombourquette added.
Kelloway leaves behind his girlfriend and a young son.
Police have arrested one man in connection with the case, and have since charged30-year-old Nicholas Raspberry. He is set to appear in court on Wednesday.
An autopsy was completed on Monday, to determine the cause of death.
