According to his family, Don Bennett was an avid horseman, and loving father and grandfather with a trademark boisterous personality.

“He would light up any room that he entered into,” said Nicky McIntosh, one of his two daughters. “He just had that kind of personality that was infectious.”

According to RCMP, officers went to an address on 0 Avenue in Langley on Friday afternoon to do a wellness check after someone reported an individual was distraught and made concerning comments.
