Pallares family mourns one year later
Army combat engineer Ronnie J. Pallares died one year ago this Sunday. The Alta Loma High School graduate was just 19 when he was killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan.Friends and family will gather near his military banner on Haven Avenue north of Sixth Street Sunday evening. Pallares' mother, Brenda Pallares, said it'll be a small tribute for her son and the community is invited to bring a candle and share a moment with the family. Taps will be played at 6 p.m.
The family will also gather at the Pallares' gold star banner again on Friday at 7 p.m. Friday would have been Pallares' 21st birthday.
Pallares' military banner, on the west side of Haven Avenue, became a makeshift memorial during the days following his death. On patriotic holidays, the light pole is often seen decorated with American flags and other memorabilia.
