Stephanie Giroux's brother Cameron used to call her everyday.

At the end of each phone call, he'd say, SA国际影视传媒渓ove you sister.SA国际影视传媒�

On Canada Day, he told her twice.

SA国际影视传媒淎lways remember,SA国际影视传媒� he said.

The two never spoke again.

Five hours later, Giroux got another call, Cameron had been killed.

SA国际影视传媒淗e died on my daughter's birthday,SA国际影视传媒� said Giroux.

Twenty-seven-year-old Cameron Sayine, Giroux's younger brother was found unresponsive by police in Fort Resolution in the late hours of July 1.

Sayine was later pronounced dead.

SA国际影视传媒淚 was mad. I was angry. I was furious. I just SA国际影视传媒� why? How could this happen? My baby brother didn't deserve to die SA国际影视传媒�,SA国际影视传媒� she said.

SA国际影视传媒淚 couldn't believe it. I cried for six days straight to the point my head was pounding,SA国际影视传媒� she recalled in a phone interview with News/North last week.

Sayine's death was ruled a homicide.

Giroux, 34, still can't believe her SA国际影视传媒渂aby brotherSA国际影视传媒� is gone.

SA国际影视传媒淐ameron has always been my sidekick; always following me around, wanting to be around me and my friends,SA国际影视传媒� she said. Cameron could be a pest, but she SA国际影视传媒渓oved him dearly.SA国际影视传媒�

SA国际影视传媒淚 took him everywhere. I did everything with him,SA国际影视传媒� said Giroux.

Over the phone, Giroux's voice is heavy, as if weighed down by the weighty of grief when she speaks of her brother's untimely death.

But when she thinks back to their childhood together, growing up in Fort Providence, her voice takes a different tone.

SA国际影视传媒淗e was awesome, outgoing, nice, respectful. When my grandparents or my dad needed help, he was always there for me and my brother's kids. They loved him and he was the best uncle,SA国际影视传媒� she said proudly.

SA国际影视传媒淛ust by him walking in the room he made you feel better. He'd joke with you, make you laugh,SA国际影视传媒� said Giroux.

SA国际影视传媒淗e made you feel loved.SA国际影视传媒�

Before he died, Giroux said her brother was trying to change his life.

SA国际影视传媒淗e wanted to stop the drinking, stop the jail. He wanted to go back to school and do all these things he promised us and our mother before she died,SA国际影视传媒� she said.

SA国际影视传媒淗e never got around to it.SA国际影视传媒�

Giroux has been plagued by tragedy in recent months.

Following the death of her brother, Giroux's friend Brittany Martel SA国际影视传媒� who consoled Giroux and made plans to attend Sayine's funeral SA国际影视传媒� was found dead in British Columbia.

SA国际影视传媒淪he just wanted to come home for Cameron's funeral. Now she's going to her own,SA国际影视传媒� said Giroux.

Beck made his first court appearance in Yellowknife in early July.

Giroux, who lives in Edmonton, said she would not be able to attend Beck's court dates. With her family still living in the North, she said the distance makes Sayine's death all the more difficult.

But Giroux, who said she would follow the court proceedings from away, said she has her loved ones to rely on.

SA国际影视传媒淚 have my family, even though I can't see them,SA国际影视传媒� she said.

Her three-year-old daughter still asks about her uncle Cameron.

SA国际影视传媒淪he's still too young to understand. She asks but we just brush it off and try to take her mind off it. She's too little,SA国际影视传媒� she said.

But Giroux hopes her daughter SA国际影视传媒� and everyone who knew Sayine SA国际影视传媒� remembers him as that SA国际影视传媒渁wesome, loving, caring, wonderful guy that brightened everybody's day.SA国际影视传媒�

Beck is due back in court on Aug. 30.
