Family members are remembering an Alberta man and his uncle after both were found dead north of Edmonton Saturday morning.
Loved ones have identified 39-year-old Jacob Sansom and his 57-year-old uncle Morris Cardinal as the pair discovered on a rural road.
RCMP said a person found the men around 4 a.m. outside of a parked truck near Glendon, which is about two and a half hours northeast of Edmonton.
According to officers, both men had been shot and their deaths are being considered suspicious.
“All the kids in the community loved him and everyone knew who he was, knew he had a heart of gold and would give the shirt off his back for anyone.”
Of Cardinal, the family wrote: “Morris was the most generous, hilarious man with a heart of gold and everyone’s best friend and the life of the party, always.”
The statement described the uncle and nephew as “best friends” who “left this world together with each other.”
The family is asking for privacy to grieve.
A GoFund Me page started by a family friend said Sansom had recently been laid off.
