The family of one of the July 25 Langley shooting victims has begun fundraising online to create a foundation in memory of Paul Wynn, who was murdered in front of the Creek Stone Place building.

香蕉视频直播淭his is a situation where we can香蕉视频直播檛 just go on with our lives,香蕉视频直播 said John Wynn, Paul香蕉视频直播檚 brother.

Paul was one of four people shot, two fatally, between midnight and 5:45 a.m. on a Monday morning. Police identified the shooter as Jordan Daniel Goggin, 28. He was shot and killed by police that morning.

Paul was a Creek Stone resident, and part of the is intended to go towards a bronze plaque to be placed on the side of the Creek Stone building, commemorating Paul and the other victim who died, Steven Furness.

香蕉视频直播淲e want Paul香蕉视频直播檚 legacy to live on,香蕉视频直播 said John.

For years, Paul had suffered from mental health and drug addiction issues.

But John wanted people to know that wasn香蕉视频直播檛 his brother香蕉视频直播檚 whole life.

Paul had started working years ago for a food supply company. He began working in the warehouse, taking graveyard shifts but making decent money and saving.

Eventually, he worked his way up to management at the firm. He had bought a $350,000 condo and was 香蕉视频直播渟et for life.香蕉视频直播

But John said his brother made a mistake with drugs, and that caused his life to spiral.

His company was supportive, offering financial help, and the firm and his family tried to get him into rehab. But at the time, Paul turned it down.

香蕉视频直播淗e really thought everyone was out to get him,香蕉视频直播 John said.

For two to three years, Paul lived on the streets. His family lost track of him several times, until they finally located him via the Salvation Army香蕉视频直播檚 Gateway of Hope shelter in Langley.

香蕉视频直播淭o see him living under a tarp, that香蕉视频直播檚 just wrong,香蕉视频直播 John said.

But Paul got off the streets thanks to Creek Stone opening in 2019. He was one of the earlier residents.

Creek Stone was designed to help the homeless and those at severe risk of homelessness. It is not a rehab program, but it has full-time, 24-hour staffing and is able to get people help and refer them to programs.

John has been told that Paul was outside tending to one of the building香蕉视频直播檚 garden plots when he was attacked and shot.

The GoFundMe香蕉视频直播檚 aim right now is to raise $25,000.

The funding will go towards a plaque at Creek Stone, helping the family with burial expenses, and any counselling needed for Paul香蕉视频直播檚 son.

After that, the plan is to start a foundation in Paul香蕉视频直播檚 name.

John said he was amazed at a recent, Aug. 3 vigil in Langley how many people said their lives had been touched by Paul香蕉视频直播檚.

He香蕉视频直播檚 worried the attacks will be dismissed because most of the victims were homeless.

香蕉视频直播淭hese were not homeless people,香蕉视频直播 he said. 香蕉视频直播淭hese were people who were left out.香蕉视频直播
