Jabec had spent part of the summer months off school with his father (Jabec's father and I divorced when Jabec was a year old and I was raising him on my own) and was due to return home after the long weekend in August. Without my knowledge, Jabec's father had taken him outside Edmonton where he and his 26 year-old son from a previous marriage spent much of the day drinking. Somehow, Jabec's 26 year-old half-brother and a friend of his managed to talk young Jabec into going for a ride in a SUV recently purchased by the older son. The father had not noticed what had taken place and the two inebriated men left with my son in the rear seat. On return to the campsite with Jabec's half-brother behind the wheel driving at excessive speeds on a gravel road, the vehicle rolled 4 times killing all three occupants including Jabec. Police reports revealed the two men had blood alcohol levels above the legal limit. Jabec had no alcohol in his system. He would have turned 15 years old the following month and was due to start his freshman year in high school.
You'll never be forgotten, Jabec. You'll always be a part of me and always with me. Love, Mom.
