He and his fiancé have a two-year-old daughter. “You know, you don’t want to see young people struggle.”ĭube-Wheat is engaged. “It’s been really hard,” Fyfe told CTV News Monday. His younger brother died, and his family's dog was killed in a house fire. It’s been a year full of tragedy for Dube-Wheat. “We’re really grateful for the interventions that everybody did to save his life because it could have gone a lot worse,” said Fyfe. This weekend he returned home to begin what’s expected to be a slow recovery. The Good Samaritan was airlifted to Victoria General Hospital – where he had life-saving open-heart surgery. “My family was just stabbed going to help somebody, so it is a lot to process,” said Fyfe Monday. He heard cries for help, saw someone seemingly overdosing, and went to help - and that’s when he was viciously stabbed by a stranger. His cousin, Jen Fyfe, says Dube-Wheat was walking home from a party. The attack happened in the early hours of July 14 in downtown Campbell River. The 21-year-old Campbell River father was stabbed in the heart and lung. Colin Dube-Wheat is recovering from a terrifying ordeal.
