In one obituary it was written that Terry “Fats” Jack grew up on Carry the Kettle First Nation and put in “hard work and dedication” into every job he every worked.

“Fats loved having friends over, playing dice and cards and true to his nature he was always determined to win,” read the obituary. “He had a competitive spirit, knowing exactly how to get what he wanted (which usually meant winning of course).”

Quewezance was remembered for his easy going nature and deadly sense of humour, accourding to his obituary.

“His friends meant the world to him and he was there for them through the good times and the bad,” it read. “He was a prankster, a spinner of tales and a keeper of memories. Sheldon was destined to be a renowned storyteller.”
