DFC mourns for the death of respected elder
Thunder Bay- Students and Staff at Dennis Franklin Cromarty High School in Thunder Bay are mourning after a death of elder Johnny Tait of Sachigo Lake First Nation.
Tait, who has been working at DFCHS since its opening in 2000 was a leader, teacher and a guide throughout the hardships that the students had to take. He was one of the must respective people we've known. His love, devotion and courage helped all those around him to have a great success.
Despite his illness, he managed to hold on and tell everyone about God and what he can do. He accomplished his father's will on February 3 at around 1:30 am EST.
The following night, NAN hosted a memorial singing night at the DFCHS gymnasium where about half of the students showed up to encourage and support the family.
The next morning, all students were taken to the Jenkens Funeral home to attend a viewing of the body, which was followed by a service. Everyone that knew Tait, came out to show their last respect to their friend and brother in Christ.
Tait's body has been taken to Sachigo Lake where they'll have a service there on Thursday.
Tait, will be sadly missed by his fellow workers and most importantly, the students he worked with at DFCHS.
Gone, but not forgotten....
