Honoring a Young Life Lost in Carlsbad

Donation protected
Support the Family of a Young Life Taken Too Soon

The Carlsbad community is mourning the tragic loss of a 19-year-old young man whose life was cut short in a fatal hit-and-run accident on Standpipe Road during the early morning hours of June 8, 2026.

According to the Carlsbad Police Department, the young man was riding a minibike when he was struck by a vehicle. The driver left the scene without stopping to render aid or report the accident. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities work to identify those responsible.

Today, a family faces the unimaginable pain of losing a son, family member, and loved one far too soon. As they navigate this devastating loss, they are also faced with the unexpected financial burden of funeral and memorial expenses.

We are asking our community, friends, neighbors, and compassionate supporters to come together during this difficult time. Every donation, regardless of size, will go directly toward helping the family cover funeral expenses and provide some measure of relief as they grieve.

If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping the family in your thoughts and prayers.

In times of tragedy, our community has always shown its strength through kindness, generosity, and support for one another. Let us come together now to honor the memory of this young man and help ease the burden on those who loved him most.

Thank you for your compassion, prayers, and support.
