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.
