I cant believe Jose was gone, I broke down in tears when i found out that he was hit during that drag race. Jose was a great person, if you were having a bad day he will always put a smile on your face. Everybody paid there respects and went to his awake and his burial was awful. It broke my heart to see such a good friend and young to be put in the ground. Jose's in a better place now, The Waukegan district made a fundraiser at San Luis supporting his family. Jose was a great soccer player, he was a great role model. I wish i could of done something i wished i could of saved him. But he's gone, all respects go out to his family, who also were heart broken because some teenagers think its funny to drag race at night in till they take someones life. Now Mario Garcia sits in his cell behind bars and looking back at what he did. We all know that Jose will be looking over us and we are never going to forget about you Jose.
