Le caporal Bryce Keller a toujours su prendre soin des autres. D\u00e8s l\u2019\u00e2ge de six ans, il tenait compagnie \u00e0 certains camarades de classe afin qu\u2019ils ne soient plus seuls, jusqu\u2019\u00e0 ses tout derniers instants, o\u00f9 il affrontait les tirs ennemis afin de prot\u00e9ger ses compatriotes. Le caporal Keller \u00e9tait un homme d\u2019une grande valeur.<\/p>\n

Surnomm\u00e9 Bryceronie par plusieurs, Bryce est n\u00e9 \u00e0 R\u00e9gina, en Saskatchewan. Quand il \u00e9tait jeune, il \u00e9tait tr\u00e8s actif et participait \u00e0 plusieurs activit\u00e9s, allant des Scouts aux sports d\u2019\u00e9quipe, en passant par enfant de ch\u0153ur \u00e0 joueur de football au secondaire. Durant l\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9, Bryce adorait aller camper et entra\u00eener ses fr\u00e8res cadets dans diverses aventures. C\u2019est son amour du plein air qui l\u2019a motiv\u00e9 \u00e0 joindre les rangs de l\u2019arm\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

En plus d\u2019\u00eatre sportif, Bryce \u00e9tait cultiv\u00e9; il appr\u00e9ciait la lecture d\u2019un bon livre et ne donnait pas sa place aux \u00e9checs. Il a obtenu son dipl\u00f4me d\u2019\u00e9tudes secondaires avec mention honorable et avait entam\u00e9 sa premi\u00e8re ann\u00e9e d\u2019universit\u00e9 en g\u00e9nie. Il \u00e9tait un homme honn\u00eate, travaillant et fiable. On le connaissait pour \u00eatre un grand farceur, avec un sens de l\u2019humour loufoque et un rire bien particulier. Avec l\u2019\u00e2ge, Bryce est devenu un homme d\u00e9termin\u00e9 et cette qualit\u00e9 le poussait toujours \u00e0 en faire davantage, poussant les choses jusqu\u2019\u00e0 l\u2019extr\u00eame. Une fois qu\u2019il avait d\u00e9cid\u00e9 quelque chose, rien ne pouvait l\u2019arr\u00eater avant qu\u2019il n\u2019ait atteint son but. Bryce mettait beaucoup d\u2019efforts pour obtenir les r\u00e9sultats escompt\u00e9s et le respect, et c\u2019est de cette fa\u00e7on qu\u2019il a toujours v\u00e9cu.<\/p>\n

Il avait aussi la capacit\u00e9 de bien cerner les gens et pouvait parfois \u00eatre tr\u00e8s franc, ayant peu de temps \u00e0 perdre avec les gens mal intentionn\u00e9s ou malhonn\u00eates. Instinctivement, Bryce savait \u00e0 qui donner sa confiance, et on pouvait en retour se fier \u00e0 lui.<\/p>\n

Bryce \u00e9tait un \u00eatre de contradictions : il aimait impressionner les gens avec sa force physique et mentale, mais il avait aussi un petit c\u00f4t\u00e9 tendre et sensible qui ressortait dans ses actions. Helen, la m\u00e8re de Bryce, se souvient de la fois o\u00f9 il lui a demand\u00e9 de lui montrer comment pr\u00e9parer les biscuits sabl\u00e9s pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9s de sa femme Sarah, afin de les lui offrir \u00e0 son retour de l\u2019Afghanistan : \u00ab Mon grand soldat d\u00e9coupait des biscuits en forme de c\u0153ur, qu\u2019il allait d\u00e9corer de paillettes roses et rouges. Bien s\u00fbr, il n\u2019a pu s\u2019emp\u00eacher de les manger tous avant le retour de Sarah, alors elle n\u2019a re\u00e7u qu\u2019une photographie par courriel des biscuits. \u00bb C\u2019est par ces petites attentions que Bryce d\u00e9montrait son amour aux autres.<\/p>\n

Ayant bri\u00e8vement travaill\u00e9 en construction avant de s\u2019enr\u00f4ler, Bryce aimait aussi dessiner et conservait un cahier contenant les esquisses de ses cr\u00e9ations pass\u00e9es ou projet\u00e9es. L\u2019une d\u2019elles \u00e9tait un dessin des initiales de sa femme, qu\u2019il avait l\u2019intention de se faire tatouer. Sarah se souvient du fabuleux coffre de bois qu\u2019il lui avait construit pour ranger son mat\u00e9riel de couture.<\/p>\n

Bryce \u00e9tait un amoureux des animaux, et plus il vieillissait, plus le type d\u2019animaux qu\u2019il aimait devenait vari\u00e9. Il a eu des tortues, des oiseaux, des hamsters, des chats et des furets, ainsi que ses deux meilleurs amis, Finn et Mia (un doberman et un labrador crois\u00e9). Cette passion pour les animaux l\u2019a conduit \u00e0 faire du b\u00e9n\u00e9volat pour la Edmonton Humane Society, o\u00f9 il donnait de son temps pour marcher avec les chiens.<\/p>\n

Bryce \u00e9tait un homme simple, qui appr\u00e9ciait les petits plaisirs de la vie comme les p\u00e9rogies, le foie aux oignons ou un bon steak. Il aimait aussi aller au cin\u00e9ma, faire de la lecture, du sport ou du camping, et relaxer sur son divan. Il \u00e9tait tr\u00e8s aimant avec les siens qui l\u2019aimaient profond\u00e9ment en retour.<\/p>\n

\u00c0 titre posthume, la m\u00e9daille de la vaillance militaire a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9cern\u00e9e \u00e0 Bryce pour sa bravoure au combat. Alors qu\u2019il faisait face aux tirs ennemis, le caporal Keller a fait preuve de courage et de leadership pour permettre \u00e0 ses compatriotes de prendre soin d\u2019un soldat gri\u00e8vement bless\u00e9. Ce jour-l\u00e0, le sacrifice ultime de Bryce a permis de sauver plusieurs vies et son r\u00e9giment a ainsi pu conserver sa position jusqu\u2019\u00e0 ce que les renforts arrivent.<\/p>\n
