Daniel Rivera, a friend based in Austin, said he met Franco through mutual friends while working on their cars and quickly bonded over their shared passion.Rivera said Franco had been planning a trip to Austin just hours before his death. “He was supposed to come down here to Austin, Texas, and we were actually going to ride,” Rivera said. “Saturday morning, we woke up to the bad news of his passing. It’s been drastic for us.” Rivera said members of the Blue Line community first learned about Franco’s death through a group chat, as messages quickly spread among friends.Despite living in different cities, Rivera said Franco made a lasting impact on their group and helped grow the movement. “He started a movement down there in Houston… hopefully it’ll expand through his legacy,” Rivera said.
