We remember Vicente Juárez. El patriarca de una familia grande y muy unida, Vicente era un gran esposo, padre y abuelo de ocho nietos. Sus vecinos lo amaban por sus esfuerzos para eliminar el vecindario de dientes de león cada verano—algunos años con más éxito que otros.

We will never forget Russell, Clayton, Josh, Trevor, and Vicente. And we will never forget the bravery of law enforcement and first responders who rushed toward the violence and undoubtedly saved countless lives. May our community come back stronger and safer than ever before.
