Uncontrollable emotions filled the air as those at the vigil remembered and celebrated the life of Stockton teen Treyvon Breckenridge.
Friends, family, and coaches joined together to honor Breckenridge, an Edison High graduate who starred on the football and basketball teams.
Aaron Edmund is a former coach who recalled Breckenridge as always willing to do more.
"I coached him but there were times that I was coaching over here and had another game because we had ten teams," Edmund said. "I had the trust in him, like go coach this little team for me."
When the pandemic hit, Breckenridge started his own business, providing cleaning services in his community. His story made local headlines and served as a symbol for his spirit wanting to help others.
Breckenridge was killed in a single-vehicle car crash Friday night, along with three other teens. The young man used his own passion to show others the way.
Patterson Joint Unified School District confirmed the names of two other victims as Kaya Durazo and Ayana Guardado. They were both seniors at Patterson High. The school district is sending grief support information to families.
