Service to honour Canadian killed in Mexico blast - CTV News: "The family of a B.C. man killed in a explosion that rocked a Mexican resort last week is thanking those who've helped them through the tragedy.
Malcolm Johnson's family says they've been 'devastated' ever since the Nanaimo man died in a gas blast at the Grand Riviera Princess Resort in Playa Del Carmen November 14.
Thirty-three-old Johnson was married in Mexico just days before the explosion and died on his one-year-old daughter's birthday.
Johnson's brother-in-law Layne Pynten says the family wants to thank everyone who has reached out to them since the explosion shattered their world.
Pynten says the family also extends their condolences to others who lost loved ones in the blast. Four other Canadians and two Mexicans were also killed.
A public celebration of Johnson's life will be held in Nanaimo on Monday following a private funeral.
'Malcolm truly was a loving husband, a doting father, wonderful brother-in-law, great friend,' said Pynten. 'He was just a fantastic person.'
Pynten said the support Johnson's wife Heather and daughter Audrey have received has been unbelievable.
'It's just unwavering support, this whole community has been behind Heather and Audrey. It's unreal,' said Pynten."
