John Keenan (16), Wojcieck Panek (17) and Christopher Stokes (19) named locally as those who died in the crash
“It is a very horrible tragedy. It is a very rural area even though we are in the city. I was born and reared in the house nearest the pier. I live in the village and I have lived here all my life and we have never had anything like this happen before.”
“It is a very dark day for us. John was a lovely, lovely kid. It was easy to get on with him. He was very decent. He would offer to go to the shop if you needed anything. He was so helpful. Our hearts are broken over John. “He was in the club again on Wednesday training and he shook it [the loss] off. He was looking forward to the next tournament. A loveable kid.”Stokes, whose death was confirmed later on Saturday, had also been a well-regarded member of the Olympic Boxing Club.
“Both young men were well loved members of Olympic BC and were honoured with a moments silence at this morning’s Championship. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families, coaches and club mates.”
