Paul Wynn乌鸦传媒檚 niece Lenna Cook travelled from Kamloops with other family members for the memorial vigil on the first anniversary of the July 25, 2022 shootings in Langley City and Township.

乌鸦传媒淗e was my favorite uncle,乌鸦传媒� Cook told the Langley Advance Times.

乌鸦传媒淗e was awesome. I loved him, I miss him terribly, and I can乌鸦传媒檛 wait to see him again.乌鸦传媒�

She was among the more than 200 people who attended the Tuesday afternoon vigil at the Vineyard Church in Langley City on the first anniversary of the shootings that claimed Wynn乌鸦传媒檚 life, the life of Steven Furness.

On July 25, 2022, Jordan Daniel Goggin attacked and shot four people between midnight and 5:45 a.m.

Wynn and Furness were both killed, a woman was seriously injured, and another man was shot in the leg. Police shot Goggin shortly after the last attack, killing him.

In his remarks at the vigil, Pastor Leith White talked about the lack of services for homeless people.

乌鸦传媒淭hey are indeed vulnerable, and were exceeding vulnerable last July,乌鸦传媒� White commented.

White said addressing homelessness 乌鸦传媒渞equires a community to respond, a community to engage [to be] a community that will determine that it is not acceptable that there are individuals without a shelter, without a home and unable to change their circumstances on their own.乌鸦传媒�

White read a statement from the Wynn family that described him as a 乌鸦传媒済ift,乌鸦传媒� always there to help his parents without ever asking, and 乌鸦传媒渁 terrific big brother.乌鸦传媒�

At the time of his death, Paul was in recovery and showing signs of progress, his family said.

乌鸦传媒淗e went from what would be described as rock bottom to writing amazing letters. Some of these letters were about what he went through in his years on the streets and how sorry he was for letting everybody down.乌鸦传媒�

Stewart Furness, Steven乌鸦传媒檚 father renewed his call for a new 乌鸦传媒渓ow-barrier乌鸦传媒� space for homeless people in Langley City, a call he said he has made in meetings with all levels of government, to no avail.

乌鸦传媒淚t is a local problem, and a problem that is not being addressed, in my view,乌鸦传媒� he said.

A year ago, Anita Soderberg, who works with the homeless in Langley City, called the shootings 乌鸦传媒渉eartbreaking.乌鸦传媒�

乌鸦传媒淭oday is a very tough day because it乌鸦传媒檚 like we乌鸦传媒檙e living it over again,乌鸦传媒� Soderberg told the Langley Advance Times on Tuesday.

乌鸦传媒淔or me, it乌鸦传媒檚 not forgotten, and we should never forget them.乌鸦传媒�

United Churches of Langley social justice advocate Gillian McLeod closed the vigil with a prayer and a moment of silence.

乌鸦传媒淲e are here to remember,乌鸦传媒� she said, 乌鸦传媒渢o honour the victims, the fallen and survivors.乌鸦传媒�
