The volunteer firefighter with the Rosetown Fire Department was struck by a passing semi while at the scene.

Fellow emergency personnel attempted life-saving efforts and he was then taken to hospital in Rosetown where he died a short time later.

Morrison’s family said he will be remembered for his “contagious laugh that you could hear miles away, his kindness, selflessness and humour.”

“Darrell loved to hunt, fish, quad and spend time with family and friends.”

A celebration of Morrison’s life started at 2 p.m. CT at the Rosetown & District Civic Centre.

Morrison is survived by his daughter Cheyanne, son Tristan, his parents, two brothers, and his partner Jessica Rouse.
