Pedestrian

Danielle had wisdom, insight and grace far beyond her chronological age, along with the uncanny ability to act silly and make other people laugh. She enjoyed a close bond with her large extended family, loved to travel, and was studying to become a nurse. In April, 2010, a Tri-Met bus driver made an illegal left turn through a crosswalk, striking Danielle and four of her friends as they crossed. She is forever loved and missed by her family, friends, and all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Seamus DuBarry, 1
Pedestrian
N. Lombard St.
11/08/2010, 11:00
Seamus was born on Christmas day, 2008. He quickly grew into a tank of a toddler, with huge feet, curly blonde hair, and a pot belly that peeked out from beneath his t-shirts. He loved animals, being outside, looking at the "big moon," and eating pizza. In November, 2010, Seamus and his dad Eric were walking home from the grocery store when they were struck by a careless driver in a crosswalk. Eric survived, but Seamus died the following day. We remember him when we look at the moon, and any time we see a "buddy buddy" (his word for butterfly).
Joe Stone, 25
Pedestrian
SE 156th and Division
10/04/2013, 08:51
Joe was a big hearted, witty person with a lot of spunk and character. He was stubborn at times but fiercely protective of his family and friends. He loved animals; especially his dogs, and loved spending time with his nephews, Holden and Sage. Joe was a sports fanatic and was an encyclopedia of sports knowledge and stats. He also enjoyed music, cooking, playing his X-Box and hanging out with his friends. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
