The family of a five-year-old boy killed by a falling tree in Chilliwack Tuesday is remembering him as the “kindest, sweetest, goofiest, fun-loving kid in the world.”
Mallory Manley identified her son Weston as the child tragically struck down during a day hike along the Kingfisher Trail in Yarrow.
“We are struggling, because everything reminds us of him, and this is because he loved everything,” Manley told Global News by Facebook Messenger.
