\"walkMeet Aaron<\/h2>\n

Our names are Fred and Margaret Carrillo.<\/p>\n

Nearly seven years ago on July 8, 2011, our son, Aaron Carrillo and his friend Jon Cervoni, both 16 years of age, lost their lives to a drunk driver.<\/p>\n

Aaron and Jon were headed home after playing a music show at a local church.\u00a0 They received a call from their friend and band member whose vehicle was stranded and needed help. It wasn’t even a question. Aaron and Jon went to help, something that was very in keeping with their characters.<\/p>\n

Jon was seated in the stalled car\u2019s passenger set, and Aaron was in between both vehicle preparing to attach battery cables.<\/p>\n

The Crash<\/h2>\n

During this time, a drunk driver driving on the emergency lane on Loop 365 rapidly approached at speeds up to 70 MPH. The drunk driver did not try stopping, as there were no brake marks \u2013 his truck hit the vehicles, Aaron and Jon.<\/p>\n

Aaron died instantly at the crash scene. Jon died in route to the hospital. The friend with car trouble survived this crash, but he is understandably emotionally traumatized. The driver was sentenced to 40 years for his crimes.<\/p>\n

The Aftermath<\/h2>\n
