Fairfield Memorial Plans
I’m Ed Smith, a Fairfield car accident lawyer. On Thursday, June 22, 2017, the trustees of the Fairfield-Suisun School District met to hear about a request to memorialize an Armijo High School student who lost his life in a car accident on Waterman Boulevard two years ago. The trustees are scheduled to officially decide if the memorial will be built on July 13, 2017, at a school board meeting.
The Accident
The bench will memorialize a 16-year-old boy who was tragically killed after he lost control of his vehicle and traveled into the oncoming lane of Waterman Boulevard at about 3:15 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon in June of 2015. As a result of veering into oncoming traffic, the young man collided head-on with a pickup truck. According to reports from local papers, the family in the pickup truck tried to help the boy after the collision but saw there was little that they could do.
When emergency responders got to the scene of the Fairfield car accident, they pronounced the young man deceased. Responders also took one of the occupants of the pickup truck to a hospital for treatment of traumatic injuries.
A Memorial
One of the deceased’s close friends started the petition to build the memorial bench and garnered the support of the staff at Armijo High. The request to build the bench was submitted on June 8, 2017. The bench, if approved, will be built in front of the Armijo High Library, which friends indicate used to be the deceased’s favorite place on the school’s campus.
A Life Remembered
The deceased is remembered by his friends, mentors, and peers fondly. The young man participated in the school’s water polo and tennis teams, was a member of the school band, and was in the International Baccalaureate program.
The director of Armijo’s band program told reporters that the deceased was “a wonderful young man” and one friend of the deceased noted that “he never said anything bad about anyone and was always happy.”
