Following high school, the honour student went on to pursue a career in construction and later found work in the oilfield. He briefly lived in Victoria, B.C. before returning to Alberta to work for CP Rail.

Born October 4, 1992, Waldenberger-Bulmer, is described in his obituary as a “happy-go-lucky guy who always had a smile on his face”.

“…He loved the outdoors and travelling. He had an adventurous spirit and could often be found jumping off high places. He loved to snowboard and was an avid golfer. He made a positive impression on everyone he met. He was kind, generous, and had a big heart with enough love for everyone…”

Waldenberger-Bulmer leaves behind his parents Cari and Albe Bulmer, along with brother Jeremy Waldenberger and many more family and friends.

A relief fund in support of all three families affected by the tragedy has been set up for donations.
