Kaylen Allen Luke Otter (Shooting Fences) went into the Creator’s Arms on Wednesday, January 31, 2007 on the Tsuu T’ina Nation, AB at the age of 20 years. Kaylen was born on May 11, 1986. Kaylen was a very athletic individual, who showed his potential in everything that he did. He loved and played the sports of football, lacrosse, basketball and truly believed and followed his traditional ways and culture. Kaylen had a “Heart of Gold” who accepted his great Aunties and Uncles, Cousins and Relatives from the Small Legs, Wadsworth, Starlight, Dodging horse, Big Plume, Simon, and Otter families. Kaylen is survived by his mother Iris Otter; father Murray Small Legs; special step- father Jerome McHugh; brothers, Barry Otter (Alberta), Garvin, Carson, Garth Otter, Wayne Meguinis (Chastity), Narcisse Deschamps, Eugene Memnook (Angela), Cameron, Thomas, Ronald Deschamps and by his loving sisters, Kristen, Tiaerra and Kaitlin Deschamps.
