Kamloops man to celebrate 29th birthday 10 years after near-fatal attack
Sue Simpson is asking for cards as her son prepares to turn 29, 10 years after a beating left him in long-term care.
- Sue Simpson is requesting birthday cards for her son Jessie Simpson's 29th birthday on July 26, marking the fifth consecutive year of the annual campaign to celebrate the milestone.
- Ten years ago, on June 19, 2016, Jessie was attacked by Kristopher Tiechrieb in Kamloops after a high school graduation party, an assault that left the then 18-year-old in a coma.
- Despite frequent hospital visits for pneumonia and surgeries over the past decade, Jessie remains active and loves spending time with his mom; he always says, "cold hands, warm heart."
- A civil suit against Teichrieb resulted in a $6.9-million judgment after he concealed assets, yet the family has not received any of the awarded funds despite the court ruling.
- Sue plans to bring Jessie home to Savona for a barbecue with friends, viewing each birthday as precious; "this is a lifelong situation," she said, emphasizing the family's gratitude for community support.
