In the early hours of Monday morning, a fight broke out in this Winnipeg North End neighborhood.<\/p>\n

The altercation claimed the life of 49-year-old Robson Isaac Sinclair, a man described by his daughter as caring, loving and always looking out for others.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy heart just broke and shattered, because I never got to see my dad in such a long time and now, he\u2019s gone and I didn\u2019t even get to say goodbye to him,\u201d said Janessa, Sinclair\u2019s daughter.<\/p>\n

Janessa alleges that her father cut through Stella Walk when he saw a fight break out which led him to intervene.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was the type of person that if he sees a fight, or if he\u2019s seen someone getting picked on, he would help that person no matter who it was,\u201d Janessa said. \u201cHe was that type of guy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sinclair, a member of Fisher River Cree nation had five children and seven grandchildren.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know he was trying to fight for his life because he wouldn\u2019t leave his kids like that knowing that how broken it would make his kids,\u201d says Janessa,<\/p>\n

Janessa travelled from Surrey, B.C., this weekend to be with her family. She said she has felt tremendous support from the community.<\/p>\n

She says she wants her father to be remembered for his sense of humour.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was the funniest guy, always making everyone laugh, the good times, calling everyone punks,\u201d Janessa says. \u201cI want them to remember his goofiness and funniness.\u201d<\/p>\n
