Kimberley Kemmer stroked the strings with his fingers, comforting his still sadness.

Mason and Dean Kemmer, 31 and 29, were found dead in their shared Edmonton apartment on May 6.

Both brothers took opioid overdose. The autopsy results may take several months, but their 33-year-old sister believes she has been poisoned by the street drug attached to fentanyl.

Kaymer said: “I can’t even really guess what caused them to suck water that day, but unfortunately, it was a tragic mistake.”

‘Full of life’

Mason and Dean are inseparable. Both of them are engaged in the daily work of insulators, but they are alive and breathing music.

Kemer said: “My brothers may be the weirdest people in Edmonton.”

“Really, really tall. Always tie-dye from head to toe. Very loud and full of life. They bring joy wherever they go. They are also versatile musicians.

“Everything in their lives is related to music.”

Dean is passionate about music production and often DJ’ed his friends. Kemmer said that when he is not making new electronic songs, he sometimes picks up the accordion.

Mason is an experienced guitarist who recently learned to play jazz piano.

The brothers also fought with addicts for ten years.

Kemer said Mason and Dean kept their family’s use of drugs limited.

She said: “When someone is recovering, you sometimes relax your guard and convince yourself that you are in this new paradigm and they will be fine.”

Kaymer said it was a difficult year for her brother.

Both of them lost their jobs during the pandemic. Mason has been taking Suboxone to relieve his opioid withdrawal symptoms, but has stopped taking it.

Even so, Keimer said her brothers have been sober for at least eight months. She is troubled by the reasons that may cause them to relapse together.

She said: “I can only imagine that the four walls of the apartment are closed on top.”

“Sometimes, I think that addiction is better than logic and love.”

Kemer said that her grief quickly reminded people of Mason’s “Stratocaster”, which is located in a pawnshop somewhere in Edmonton.

A few weeks before his death, she and Mason talked about guitar. He wants her to return the money to him, but she wants to save it herself.

After her brother died, she couldn’t wait to get the instrument back, but she didn’t know where it was. She posted the news on social media and searched for her whereabouts in pawn shops across the city.

In the end, with the help of the Edmonton police, the guitar was found for free and given to her.

Kemmer and her brothers have always dreamed of building their own band.

She now plays Stratocaster every day to commemorate their memories.

She said: “My brothers don’t make music here anymore.” “I just want to keep doing it for them.”

Kemer said her search for Mason guitars saddened her and dozens of others in Alberta who had lost their loved ones due to addiction.

She said that addiction does not discriminate.

“My brothers have received a lot of support and love in their lives. They are all good people, but they are suffering from this addiction, which is much more powerful and painful than we can realize from the outside world. Much.

“The number of shocking sad stories is absolutely staggering, and all of them seem to end in exactly the same way. “
