A Calgary army reserve officer was killed in an ice-climbing accident in eastern British Columbia over the holidays.
Maj. Dave Peabody died while off duty on Dec. 26 in Kootenay National Park, the military said Thursday.
“Maj. Peabody was an outstanding leader and a valued member of the Canadian Armed Forces community in Calgary,” Lt.-Col. Andrew Beauchamp, commanding officer of The Calgary Highlanders, said in a statement.
“Our sincerest and heartfelt condolences go out to the family and loved ones of Maj. Peabody.”
Peabody, who was 48, served as an infantry officer with the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry after joining the Canadian Forces in 2007. He served in Afghanistan in 2011 and 2012.
After 14 years in the regular forces he was posted to Calgary and decided to call the city home and start a family.
Peabody transferred to the Calgary Highlanders, a unit of 41 Brigade Group, serving part time as a senior officer.
Last summer he deployed to Jasper, Alta., to lead soldiers in the fight against wildfires ravaging the Rocky Mountain community.
