Tragic Loss of Young Sheriff on First Day Back | Winnipeg News

A young, beloved First Nations sheriff, Brett Matheson-Maytwayashing, died tragically at 27 in a train collision on his first day back at work — just days after returning from a sacred sun dance ceremony. A devoted father and community leader, he spent a decade guiding traditional ceremonies and lived by principles of humility, non-judgment, and keeping youth away from drugs and alcohol. His family insists he was not distracted by his phone at the time. The crash, involving a sheriff’s van on a rural road, left his colleague with minor injuries. Manitoba RCMP, aided by CN Police and Workplace Health and Safety, is investigating — but the cause remains unknown as they piece together the fateful morning.
