On New Years Day Keni Su’a, a contractor in Calgary and former YWAMer, was killed at a restaurant here in Calgary. He was there for lunch and happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. There were two other people killed, both with ties to local gangs.
I was unfortunate in that I never had a chance to meet him but Kani Su’a was a friend of a lot of the YWAM staff here in Calgary. He immigrated to Canada from Samoa in the 1990s to work with Youth With A Mission and started a contracting firm here about 5-years ago. It was quite a blow to his friends and family both here in town, and back in Samoa.
