A look at the four people who died in the shooting in northern Saskatchewan

Four people were killed and seven wounded in a mass shooting at a school and a home in the northern Saskatchewan community of La Loche on Jan. 22. An 18-year-old, who was 17 at the time, pleaded guilty Friday.

Here’s a look at those who died:

Marie Jaqueline Janvier:

The 21-year-old had recently started working at the school in La Loche as a teacher’s aide and planned on becoming a teacher. She loved children and animals, and lived with and took care of her mother and grandmother. “It’s so quiet in the house now,” says her mother, Jackie Janvier. She describes her only child as a kind, sweet and caring woman who worked hard because she didn’t like sitting at home. Deegan Park, her boyfriend of three years, said at the time he would have given up the rest of his life just to spend another year with her. “I grew up not a good guy, but she turned me right.”

Adam Wood:

The 35-year-old started his teaching career in La Loche the September before the shooting. “Adam was quite an adventurer, had a passion for life, and would often make you laugh until your stomach hurt. He was always up for a good challenge and lived each day joyously,” his family, which lives in Uxbridge, Ont., said in a statement. Wood had previously worked with youth at an urban farm in Thunder Bay, Ont. “There are some people out there that hold a light. Adam was one of them,” a group member said on its Facebook page. “I think about the darkness that came over the school in the moments before his death. And then I think about his light. How he would have offered that to everyone around him, and how, maybe, that would have made that horrible situation somehow a little bit easier for the people near him who survived.”

Dayne Fontaine:

Police say the 17-year-old was killed at a home before the shooting at the school. His friend Brittney Lemaigre remembered him as a caring person. “So thoughtful … He had a heart of gold,” she wrote in a Facebook conversation with The Canadian Press. “Made anyone around him laugh. His time on Earth is cut too short.”

Drayden Fontaine:

Police say the 13-year-old was found dead in the same home as his brother. The mother to both boys, Alicia Fontaine, posted about her grief on Facebook. “My heart shattered into a million pieces,” she wrote. “So sad I don’t have no more babies.” Loren Lemaigre, calling himself a family friend, posted on Facebook: “So young and for nothing.”
