NORTH BATTLEFORD – The social media memorial page for Gregory Cope asks people to remember him in his good times saying he had recently posted a saying that he had found in his mom Bonnie's Bible that read, "Remember me with smiles and laughter, for that is how I will remember you."
A vigil for Gregory Cope is being planned at a later date.
His family have asked for privacy while they deal with the tragedy of losing a brother, father, cousin, uncle, nephew, stepson, and close friend.
Wolf Garden Open Market held a fundraiser to help Cope’s sons.
For three days, Wolf Garden Open Market sold hamburgers and sandwiches for $6 with all proceeds going towards the Gofundme for Cope’s boys, according to a post on a social media page dedicated to remembering Cope. So far, $1,470 has been raised towards the $5,000 goal.
Wolf Garden Open Market has also been accepting bottle donations for the Gofundme page.
Thirty-two-year-old Cope was reported as missing to Battlefords RCMP on Feb. 21. RCMP found Cope’s remains Feb. 27 in the debris of a house fire on 27th Street West in Battleford. RCMP say they are investigating his death as a homicide.
