Esteban Chavez Jr., of Downey, a city in Los Angeles County, was delivering packages in the Pasadena area on Saturday, June 25, when he collapsed.According to the family, Esteban apparently passed out in his truck in the early afternoon."It hurts, it's a pain that's never gonna go away. And that's something I wish on nobody, having the experience to lose your child," said his father, Esteban Chavez Sr.But his family believes it's linked to dehydration.
"Everytime I seen my son walk into a room, I was like 'That's my son!' I was so happy to show my son off," said Chavez Sr.His family said he loved his job, and that he hoped to stay and grow with the company. "This is all so sudden," said Chavez Sr."It hurts a lot. But I like to think God had a calling for him. They say the good die young. I'm sure my son was one of them.""We are deeply saddened by the loss of our driver Esteban Chavez, and extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends. We are cooperating with the investigating authorities and are respectfully deferring questions about this incident to them.
