The Painful Farewell to Kevin, the Young Man Who Saw His Deported Parents Before Dying
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Amid applause, silence, and the music of a marching band, classmates, teachers, and family members bid farewell to Kevin González on Wednesday during a tribute held at the school where he attended high school. The 18-year-old's coffin was received at the school while his classmates said their goodbyes in the classrooms, fulfilling one of his dreams: to graduate. Although life did not allow him to achieve this, his school community wanted to pay him a final tribute in the place where he shared important moments. In honor of Kevin, who passed away from terminal colon cancer, the drums of the marching band echoed through the school as students dressed in white and holding flowers observed a moment of silence. 'Today we find ourselves here with a great pain in our hearts,' said Citlali Zamarripa, a classmate of Kevin. 'Kevin, thank you for being a part of our lives, thank you for your friendship, for your way of being, and for all the moments you gave us,' Zamarripa added. The tribute also included the presence of his parents, who were urgently deported to be with him in his final moments.
