• I am extremely sorry for your loss. My name is Sami Sakalla from Edmonton, AB on my way to Kelowna on September 22, 2011.
  
  I was the first on site when I saw the incident driving on Highway 97 and made the call to 911.
  Although no one in your family knows me, including Cullen, I just wanted to let you know the incident happened very quickly and Cullen did not suffer. From what I have already read about your son, he was a loved man by all. A man I truly would've wanted to call a friend if I had the chance.
  
  I apologize if I'm intruding, but this tragedy had affected me from the moment it happened and I want to offer my help to the family in any way possible. I pass on my condolences to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dave and Barb Rowan, his brother Jared, grandparents, girlfriend, and many others....I wish I could've done more to help bring him back, and I'm sorry I couldn't…my deepest apology for your loss.

• Our hearts go out to you at this sad time. Cullen was a close friend to our grandchildren-Tyler and Hannah Bare. He was a regular visitor in their home. He will be greatly missed by them and all his other buddies. Our love and caring thoughts are with you every day for every member of your family.
  
  Grandma and Grampa Bare of Vernon-(Shirley and Borden) Sep 29, 2011
