Family of Cesar Fuentes:
"Cesar loved his fiancée Natalie more than anything. She brought his smile back and was looking forward to building a family with her."
A friend from high school:
"I will never forget the big smile on his face at the finish line when he won his race with only one shoe because his shoe had fallen off during his race."
A cousin, Lucy K.:
"The time that Cesar came camping with us and he was the only one to catch any fish - he prepared it himself and all."
Cesar's sister, Marlene:
"I will never forget his big brother duties that included and are not limited to, wet willies, dutch ovens, crop dusting while accompanying mom at the store, monopoly games, mario kart matches, wrestling, pokemon, marble collections, and his protective nature - only he was able to pick on me. Most of all, a caring, playful, and funny uncle to my daughters."
