Darryle Louis Caribou is being remembered as a gentle soul who had a passion for art and passing his skill as an artist and a person to help other youths. The 26-year-old artist from the Mathias Colomb Cree Nation (Pukatawagan) drowned on July 3rd after jumping into the Red River to try and save his 30-year-old cousin, who had entered the river to cool off and encountered difficulty with the strong currents following heavy rains. Darryle Caribou's body was found four days later.

Caribou was an instructor at Graffiti Art Programming at a youth art centre on Higgins Avenue where he also sold his work. He has been described as a role model and a mentor.

A memorial for Darryle Caribou will be held at the Graffiti Art Programming centre at 109 Higgins Avenue on July 15th from 6 P.M. To 9 P.M. Everybody is welcome.
