It is with great sorrow and a heavy heart that we announce the untimely passing of our dear

friend and colleague, Carlos Mejia.

Carlos has been part of the US American family for the last 6 years and known in the industry for the last 15 years. He worked his way up the ranks of the company and earned his position as a separate placing boom operator. He was an incredible young man who touched the lives of those around him and who had a very bright future ahead of him. He was always up for a challenge with a smile on his face and had great respect amongst his peers. He will be greatly missed on the field.

Carlos will be lovingly remembered by his wife Shirley, his 4 young children, and by many other friends and relatives. Our hearts and prayers go out to Carlos' family in this very difficult time.
