He is survived by his Father, Duane and his Mother, Stephanie, his brother and the entire Canfield family along with the his “racing” family that stretches throughout racing. The loss was devastating to the regions short track racing community as Canfield spearheaded social media and photography efforts for many Series and Teams, “spreading the word” for who was racing where, supporting the local tracks and sharing pertinent information, through his own “EC Media Brand”.
