THE LAST TIME Marie Suecroft heard from Glenn Stecyk, the email he sent on March 19 began, “Hi Babe,” and ended with, “love u G.” In it, Stecyk told Suecroft his legs and arms were hurting most of the time. She told him to go to the hospital and get checked out. Suecroft has no idea if he ever did. When she next heard of the man she calls her soulmate, it was via a call from Stecyk’s sister, telling Suecroft he was dead, found by a passerby under a tarp on a hunk of land near the intersection of Schubert Drive and Ford Avenue on April 5. How the one-time welder ended up homeless is a story Suecroft says breaks her heart.

This is the only photo Marie Suecroft has of Glen Stecyk, one she has kept in her wallet since it was taken in 1998. His death, and how he breathed his final breath under a tarp on a cold Kamloops night, was a culmination of his losing battle with the bottle.
