Canadian killed fighting in Ukraine ‘lived his life unselfishly and for others’ - The Globe and Mail
Ms. Lathlin-Bercier said her brother kept in touch with family regularly over Facebook, updating them weekly. He was on a few days off when she last spoke to him recently from a Ukrainian city where he was enjoying his favourite meal, a hamburger and French fries. A cat lover, he often posted photos on social media of him dressed in his military uniform with different cats he came across in Ukraine.
His last private message to his mom was Thursday, when he told her, “Thanks mom all is good over here.”
Ms. Lathlin-Bercier said it could be weeks or months before his body is recovered and returned home.
A statement from Chief Maureen Brown of Opaskwayak Cree Nation said that, “Austin was bright, compassionate, and extremely brave. He sacrificed everything to help and paid the ultimate price. The way he lived his life unselfishly and for others is a beacon of bravery for such a young man. He lived and offered his life with honour. He made our nation proud.”
Community members gathered Monday evening to pay their respects and lower the nation’s flag.
