Jorge was active in the B-SAFE program at St. Stephen’s Church, where he rose from participant to lead counselor. A recent graduate of Madison Park High School, he had been planning to join the U.S. Marine Corps and was remembered for mentoring younger children, participating in mission trips, and overcoming a difficult childhood to become a respected leader.

His funeral drew a large crowd and the community continues to mourn and seek answers. If anyone has information about Jorge’s death, please come forward and share what you know.
