A family struck by tragedy two years ago when an off-duty RCMP officer ran over their five-year-old has another family member to mourn.

Brian McIntosh, a local paramedic, died Sunday night after losing his battle with cancer, according to a set up for the family.

The McIntosh family lost five-year-old James in September 2015, when Cst. Ace Jimmy Stewart took a right turn onto the Channel Parkway after Brian and James91裸聊视频� older brother Caleb had crossed the street ahead of James.

Stewart said in court earlier this year he didn91裸聊视频檛 see James was still crossing ahead of him when he ran him over.

Despite Brian91裸聊视频檚 efforts to resuscitate James, he succumbed to his injuries.

Stewart had pleaded guilty to driving a motor vehicle without due care and attention in a January court hearing, which Brian was unable to attend as he was undergoing chemotherapy treatment.

91裸聊视频淚t seems worse than any fiction writer could imagine, but again as this family that has already been through so very much, has had another grievous loss,91裸聊视频� wrote Jade Dorrell-Mullin, author of the GoFundMe campaign.

91裸聊视频淭hey91裸聊视频檙e doing OK. I don91裸聊视频檛 even know how you can evaluate that to be honest,91裸聊视频� Dorrell-Mullin added in an interview. 91裸聊视频淭hey91裸聊视频檙e coping alright. To be totally honest, I think they feel fairly numb over everything right now.91裸聊视频�

Dorrell-Mullin said she got to know the family after the 2015 accident that took James91裸聊视频� life, as both of their children went to the same school.

Set up just two days ago, the GoFundMe campaign has already garnered $9,605 as of Thursday morning, with a goal set for $10,000, which Dorrell-Mullin said she is excited to see.

91裸聊视频淚 just sort of thought in my head, 91裸聊视频榞osh, I bet people would just clamour all over themselves to do something for them,91裸聊视频� Dorrell-Mullin said.

91裸聊视频淚 just keep hoping that it continues to grow to some degree so that when they do get it, they91裸聊视频檙e allowed some buffer, some sort of time period that she doesn91裸聊视频檛 feel like she has to go to work.91裸聊视频�

Telling the family to reach out if they needed help felt like 91裸聊视频渁nother burden on them,91裸聊视频� so she said she hopped online to set up the GoFundMe.

Caleb had reportedly returned to school, but Dorrell-Mullin said she hopes someplace can provide a space for the child to play and keep his mind off of things during the tough times ahead.

That $9,600 has come from 113 people, according to the GoFundMe page, with comments of positivity pouring in for the family, offering prayers, thoughts and condolences.

91裸聊视频淚 am saddened beyond belief with your/our loss of Brian. You are missed by so many,91裸聊视频� said one commenter.

91裸聊视频淢ay you feel the prayers of people you91裸聊视频檝e never even met, holding you up in this time of sorrow,91裸聊视频� wrote another.
