The first murder victim in Prince Albert in 2016 will be laid to rest on Friday.

Cowan, who was nicknamed Jonny Boy, has family in the Prince Albert and La Ronge area.

Cowan’s funeral service will be in Prince Albert Friday, at 1:30 at the Mackenzie Funeral Chapel.

No suspects have been arrested yet in the murder.

His family and friends have been sharing their grief online. Some people have even wrote about spending time with Cowan the night he died.
