On July 8, 2021 Drayton Valley emergency response teams acted on a call received about a man swept away in the river attempting to assist a dog in distress. Not only emergency response but the boating association and many private citizens who we are not even aware of attempted to rescue our son, nephew, grandson, cousin. Unfortunately, Andrew Steele did not resurface again from the Saskatchewan River until July 12 when his body was located.

We, his family wish to thank everyone involved in the search and recovery that took place. Thank you for looking and not giving up until you found him.
The closure and peace you have given our family is tremendous.
Thank you for putting your lives on the line every day, not just for Andrew but for all you do.
We will never be able to express our gratitude fully to you. Please know you will remain in our thoughts and prayers.
The family of the late Andrew Steele
November 1982-July 2021
