Default Tragic Loss In Langley

VANCOUVER (CBC) - An 18-year-old Langley man is dead after being struck by a car at Stokes Pit -- a popular Surrey hangout for young people.
Surrey RCMP say it appears the man was playing a game of chicken with his friend early Sunday morning, when he was hit and thrown 37 metres.

Corp. Diane Blain says no one else was injured in the accident. And Blain says it doesn't appear that drugs and alcohol were a factor.

=========================

It is my understanding that the player that was tragically killed plays for Langley Lightning U21 team. My Condolences go out to his family and friends along with his team mates.

More information will be posted as it becomes available to me.

Thanks
Chad.

I'm sure others from the club will post their thoughts as well. Sincere condolences go out to the family from ours.

Keep us posted on memorials, and the like, Chad.

An update to this sad event:

Quote:
The funeral service for Jonathon Filer is on Friday, at 1:00pm at Langley Christian Life Assembly.

I would like to quote a message I received from his Coach, Will Pea****.

"Most of you probably are aware by now that one of our club members was killed in a tragic and senseless accident, last Saturday night. Jonathon Filer was 18 year old. He played for the U21 Lightning, and was truly an example to his peers, well liked, friendly, inspirational, reliable and hard working. Sometimes, the adjectives used seem contrived, almost like clichés.
Believe me, in Jonathon's case, he was all those things and more." - Will Pea****

The Filer Family have asked that in lieu of flowers that donations be made to a fund being set up with LUYSA. (Langley United Youth Soccer Assoc.). The fund is to be used for a Memorial fund or similar.

Thanks.
Chad Spurgeon

I coach our U-21 have played Langley Lightning earlier this year as well last year and they are a good bunch of kids.

My condolences out to the family, friends and teammates of Jonathon.

I played ball hockey this year with him on the All-Star Team. Just a great kid, always positive and willing to defend anyone of his teammates. He was our captain. My condolences to his family, friends, and teammates of Jonathon.

My cousin stopped to help and waited till the ambulance came. Him and his wife are still very upset with what they saw.

My deepest condolences to the family.
