Following the attack, the family of the victim urged the suspect to come forward.

“I would like them to come forward at least to acknowledge what they’ve done and to realize he didn’t just hurt him a little bit. They’ve destroyed his life,” his sister, Pamela Loewen, told Global News in December 2019.

“He’ll never work again if he even has a somewhat normal life.”
