Diego loved a lot more than just his car. He loved his family, his girlfriend and his friends above all else. He'll always be in our hearts.

I wept when I read the Letter to his mother, it was so touching and it broke my heart. I cannot imagine the great loss of this sweet young son, who loved and adored his family. I don't even know him, but I cry everytime I see his picture and all I can think about is how proud his parents and family must be of this Wonderful HERO!!! My prayers are with the Rincon Family and know that Diego will NEVER be forgotten...God Bless You!!!
