The generosity of car lovers made for an incredibly heartwarming moment in Red Deer this past weekend.
Brent and Nicole Keryluke were killed on May 5 of this year after the motorcycle they were riding collided with a truck near Innisfail. Brent was 35-years-old while Nicole was 34.
They left behind two young children – 3-year-old Liam and 6-year-old Arielle – who are now being cared for by their grandparents with help from other family members.
On Saturday, Brent’s father Ben and his wife Marilyn took a 1973 Pontiac Parisienne Brent had been working on to the Electric Garage car auction at Westerner Park.
