A long time, valued employee at a Kelowna business has been identified as the victim of Thursday’s murder on a city transit bus.
The family of Caesar Rosales had declined to release his name to the public but his employer Kelowna Flightcraft has sent out a statement to the media about his sudden death. The 55 year old was employed at the company for two years as a Business Systems Analyst and was originally from the Philippines.

“Kelowna Flightcraft staff and management were stunned, shocked, and heartbroken to learn a valued employee, colleague, and friend was lost to an unspeakable act of violence on Thursday October 30th, 2014,” said the company in a statement. “He brought tremendous skills and training from his previous work in both Vancouver and the Philippines. Over the last two years he became a part of the Flightcraft family, working with 100’s of our employees across the organization, participating in social club activities, contributing on several large projects, and developing a strong circle of friends and colleagues.”
