SASKATOON The death of a loved one from impaired driving is something Bonny and Craig Stevenson hopes no other family has to face. “When the officer told us that our 17-year-old son is deceased, those are just really tough moments to describe,” said Bonny. Bonny and Craig lost their son Quinn Stevenson August 3, 2013 in a two-vehicle incident involving an impaired driver. Quinn was on his way to work at the Saskatoon Golf Course. The 17-year-old had only recently graduated from Centennial High School. “I still see that smile very often and it’s just something that will always be embedded in our hearts.”
