Family remembers 9-year-old boy killed on Mesa Ridge Parkway
FOUNTAIN, Colo. (KRDO) - The family of the 9-year-old boy killed at the intersection of Mesa Ridge Parkway and Fountain Mesa Road laid him to rest Friday.
They say nine-year-old Jayson Adonis "Sonny" Izquierdo was the type of kid that would light up the room with his presence.
"He was so smart, he was so good, the teacher liked him so much because he was helpful, there is so much I can say about him because he was so loved by everyone," said Gerrardo Villon, his grandfather.
The family describes him as a "ray of sunshine in this world who will be thoroughly missed," adding he made an impact in so many lives in such a short time.
Jayson is the youngest of three. His family is currently accepting donations to cover the costs for his funeral service, if you would like to donate click here.
