A man who died after he was buried in a collapsed trench in Charleswood on Thursday is being remembered as a compassionate, kind and genuine person.
Emily Gofton says her boyfriend Liam Johnston loved his family and always looked out for the people he cared about.
"It's hard to accept that it’s real. Sleeping in our bed without him and waking up and knowing that he’s not going to be there again. I just miss him so much," she told CTV News.
Gofton says Johnston enjoyed kayaking, hiking, rock climbing and playing music.
The pair met almost two years ago while working at Mr. Mike's Plumbing. Johnston was an apprentice plumber.
"He was the hardest worker," Gofton said, adding that’s what made her want to be friends with him.
"He would work from 7 a.m. and not get home until 12 a.m. He really would do anything to show his loyalty and passion for the company."
