Engagement Cross that was placed at accident scene where Canadian man died last summer Heppner has been very good to friends and family of a Canadian man who died in an accident on Coalmine Hill last summer, says Darla Wishart of Heppner. Wishart says friends and family of Bryson Heartvvell, Spruce Grove, Alberta Canada, were in Heppner last week to put flowers at the accident site, and to tell the people of Heppner how much their kindness was appreciated, following the death of their friend and family member on June 29. They had thanked the people of Heppner in Heartwell’s obituary in a Canadian newspaper. Heartwell died when the motorcycle he was riding collided with a pickup truck on Coalmine Hill. The Wisharts, who run the Northwestern Motel in Heppner, helped out the grieving family and became friends with the Canadians in the process. Darla made a cross and placed it on the spot where the accident took place. Heartwell, 46, was a husband and father when he died. "To those of you who missed meeting these very special people, hopefully, you'll have a chance to meet them on their next visit. They think the people of Heppner are very special," says Darla Wishart.
