Todd Red Gilman served in the Canadian Armed Forces and is being remembered for his efforts to help other veterans.
He spent much of his time volunteering at the Veterans Association Food Bank in Calgary, putting together food hampers and uplifting the people around him.
"Even through his own struggles, Todd made sure that everybody else knew that he was there to help them," said Charles Redeker, a friend and operations manager at the food bank.
"He was somebody I knew I could reach out to."
Gilman died after a motorcycle crash on Saturday along Stoney Trail near the Glenmore exit.
Police say he crossed the median fog line, struck a post of the cable barrier on the median and was thrown.
Gilman was taken to hospital with serious injuries and died soon after.
