PLEASANTON, CA- A community in Pleasanton, California is in mourning after a fatal car crash claimed the lives of a local family. The community members congregated on Sunday in a collective expression of grief.
Friends, family members, and community residents convened at Val Vista Park to pay homage to the deceased, a family of four- Tarun and Rincy George, and their two sons, Aaron and Rowan.
Friends informed that the fatal event occurred as the family was returning from a birthday party. Their vehicle swerved off-course and collided with a tree, killing everyone inside.
Both the children were students at local schools. One of their teachers, Sarah McClimon, expressed her sorrow at the untimely loss. Aaron, who was her violin student for two years at Donlon Elementary School, was portrayed as a kind, community-loving young boy. Heartbroken, McClimon reminisces about him as she recalls his involvement in the community.
In addition to their school, the family, particularly Tarun, was a familiar sight in the neighborhood. Often seen interacting with neighbors or enjoying family time, the father set “dad goals” for several in the community, according to one of the neighbors, Midhun.
He, like many others there, found it hard to come to terms with the sudden tragedy that took the life of the entire George family in just a few moments.
