Tim Keeling was driving in his car with his wife last June when he suddenly blacked out.
A few Kingston residents are being commended for saving the life of a man who was suffering a heart attack while driving.
Tim Keeling was driving with his wife in June 2025 when he says he suddenly blacked out.
Tyler Yuel was doing deliveries for Napa when he spotted Keeling's car that day and noticed something wasn't right.
Charles Nicholas and Samantha Armstrong (shown in photo with Keeling in middle) were in one of the first vehicles Yuel stopped and they immediately got out to help Keeling out of his car.
Nicholas says everything happened so quickly that they never hesitated.
Paramedics later arrived and determined Keeling was having a cardiac arrest and performed CPR.
On Tuesday, the parties involved reunited at Frontenac Paramedic Station 2 on Woodbine Rd where Nicholas and Armstrong were presented with certificates from Mayor Bryan Paterson.
Keeling says it was great seeing Yuel, Nicholas, and Armstrong again along with the paramedics that took care of him.
He says he owes a debt to those people and couldn't thank them enough for helping save his life.
Both Nicholas and Armstrong say they never had any second thoughts about putting themselves in that situation.
