Vigil in Lethbridge aims to raise further awareness of southern Alberta man’s disappearance

Family and friends are planning to host a candlelight vigil Friday evening (Jan. 3) for a southern Alberta man who’s been missing since mid-November.

Marshal Iwaasa, 26, was last seen by his family here in Lethbridge on November 17. He was supposed to return to Calgary that day, but hasn’t been heard from since. Marshal’s burned out pickup truck was then found in western B.C. a week after his disappearance.

A Facebook group post says the vigil will begin at 6:30 p.m. on Friday (Jan. 3) at Winston Churchill High School. That day also happens to be Marshal’s 27th birthday.

The post notes that the purpose is to raise further awareness of the disappearance. The event will also be live streamed on Facebook for those who can’t attend.

I started my radio career in 2015, shortly after graduating from Lethbridge College. I have a very strong passion for local news. Proudly born in 1994, I grew up most of my life in Sylvan Lake, AB and I've lived in the Lethbridge since 2012. I'm a below average golfer on a good day, I take as many hiking trips to Waterton as possible in the summer and I love my two cats, Outlaw and Jynx, and my dog, Maverick, more than most people I know. I look forward to providing accurate, timely news coverage in southern Alberta for plenty of years to come!
