Prince George, B.C.- Hundreds of mourners filed into the Civic Centre in Prince George today to mark the passing of military reservist Private Kirby Tott.
The 25 year Prince George resident died tragically on July 25, 2015 during training exercises in CFB Shiloh, Manitoba.
Tott was a member of the Rocky Mountain Rangers and worked at the Prince George Regional Correctional Centre at the time of his death.
At the request of the family, members of the media were not allowed inside the Civic Centre during today’s service.

So he never saw active duty? My grandparents never got that recognition and they both fought in ww2 , the city didn’t bat an eye when they died.
Rest in Peace.
Leroyjenkins it could have something to do with the fact that he died while actually on military duty…
Rest in Peace Kirby
He died in Canada …
@letroyjenkins if you have a problem with how veterans are recognized, call veterans affairs. Don’t clog this story with with your demeaning comments. Whether Tott saw active duty of not, he died serving the armed forces and ultimately you along with corrections. The only comment needed is thank you, rest in peace and sorry for the families loss. Nothing else matters.
Leroy,
Better everyone think your ignorant,
than open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Well said littleone, well said.
The family of Kirby Tott should be proud. While it is heartbreaking to lose a loved one, he was willing to give himself for his country, and for that deserves to be honoured. Thank you to the Tott family for your gift.
