Justin, Tricia, Alan,
Can't believe 2 months have passed. It seems like yesterday we were watching the boys play. I am and forever continue to send all of my love, thoughts, and prayers to your family. I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through, but your strength and perseverance to continue on has amazed the entire nation, let alone world. I did not know him, but after hearing all the stories told about him, and social media posts, I fell like I've known him forever. No one will ever forget about what happened on April 6th. No one will ever forget the boys and Dayna. I will always pray for you, Stephen, and everyone affected. I will live my life in a way that honours him. And I look forward to the day I can meet him, give him a big hug, and tell him the void he has left in my life and so many others. All my love.

I would like to extend my most sincere and heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Stephen Wack. I am so sorry for the loss of such a multi-talented young man and athlete with a caring, thoughtful heart and great sense of humour. I was very touched by the speeches made at his Celebration of Life, especially by his brother Justin and his friend Curtis, who captured special moments they shared together and revealed a deep and mutual love and respect. I was also impressed with Stephen's videos which displayed a great imagination and creativity. It is obvious that Stephen had a profound and positive impact on the lives of many people and will be greatly missed, but as with all the the other Humboldt Bronco teammates, never forgotten.

This tragedy and the death of your brother and son has touched me in a profound way - we are all grieving for the individuals lost - god speed. ps: DJ Kennington from my home town of St. Thomas, Ont is honouring the Humboldt Broncos when he drives in the Nasscar Cup Series - his car hood is the Broncos logo - it will be auctioned off after his race. RIP xo

I did not know Stephen or the family but after reading the wonderful obit & listening to the many accolades & accomplishments mentioned at the Celebration..... I do now! What an honour it is for all of us! His parents can be very proud of the son they raised! As a former minor hockey coach in Victoria, B.C., having done the "bus thing" many times, the senseless tragedy that befell Stephen & his "mates", hits home. My personal condolence to the family & know that the Victoria hockey community grieves with you.

I am so very sorry. You have 2 fine sons. Stephen was a very excellent person. I remember him as polite, handsome and a very good athlete. Clarence was so proud of his family. He always reported to me what Stephen was doing. I enjoyed coaching baseball in St Albert an dit was always fun to play Stephen's team. The usually beat our team because Stephen was so good. I love your family.
Sincerely,
Charlie Nelson (aka Chuck)

Alan, Tricia and Justin,
Being a teacher I hope that I can have an effect on students lives, but every now and then special students have an effect on my life. Stephen was one of them.
Everyone loved him; he always had a smile on his face throughout the three years that he attended V. J. Maloney Jr. High.
He was so proud of his little brother, and I could see that in him every time he came to pick Justin up or to drop something off for him. As far as big brothers go, he was one of the best!
Bless your family and know that he and all of you were a very special part of our VJM family. Stephen will be fondly remembered in our hearts.

To Alan and the Wack family,
I never had the privilege to meet your son Stephen. I heard that he was a talented loving son. He was also an amazing big brother to Justin. I cannot imagine the pain and shock that you and your family are going through. Please know that I am here for you and if there is anything I can do please let me know.
My thoughts and prayers have been on going since I found out and will continue on for you while you all heal. God bless you all. Call anytime 780-690-1819 ❤❤❤

Our heartfelt simpathy to your family. We never had the privledge to meet Stephen personally. But we heard about him and your family through Justin each summer he came to NFB convention with us. Both your sons are wonderful people and its a credit to you, their parents, for this. My family on Canada and here in the United States have followed this tragedy since the call from Justin. As many did, our first response was shock. How could this happen.
Just know we are all thinking about you all and if you need anything we are here. We wish you healing and peace.

I'd like to send my deepest condolences to you and your family. I was Stephen's piano teacher last year in Humboldt. He was an amazing young man and very determined. Stephen told me he wanted to learn how to play the piano so he could play for his Grandma at Christmas. So we started right at the beginning - this is middle C.... The electric keyboard that we had his lessons on at the school was just nearly high enough for his long legs - he was soo tall! Despite all the ribbing he'd get from his other roommates, he'd come back week after week with his practice complete and by Christmas he was good enough to play for Grandma!
I was honoured to have him as one of my students.
