Estaban Behena was a 24 year old EMT employed by San Diego Medical Services. Today, while operating one of the many ambulances in the city they happened upon an accident on State Highway 163 near Balboa Park. While setting out flares he was struck by a vehicle that was involved in a chain-reaction accident. Crews feverishly worked to spare his life but at 8:32 AM, at Scripps Mercy Hospital, Estaban passed away.

Rest now my fallen brother
ReplyDeleteLay soft your suffering back
Rest well and forever
Your memory shall not lack
Rest your tired hands
Wipe clean your weary brow
Rest with St. Florian
Your spirit now endowed
Rest here your breaking heart
We know you gave your all
Rest easy, you’ve done your part
You’ve answered your last call
Rest knowing that in god we sought
Oh lord, watch over another who just fell
Rest assured your troubled thought
As we ring the final bell.
