Procession this evening for Army soldier killed in recent Black Hawk crash
Army Sgt. Isaac John Gayo checked in daily with his sister to hear her voice.
He’d also send photos before flights aboard one of the 101st Airborne Division’s Black Hawk helicopters, for which he worked as a maintenance chief. Tonight, April 17, at 5 p.m., Sgt. Gayo’s remains are expected to arrive at the Los Angeles International Airport for burial at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills. Community members and first responders, including from Los Angeles-area police and fire agencies, are expected to line the streets in tribute to the fallen soldier. The procession to the cemetery will be led by motorcyclists from the Patriot Guard.
Gayo, who moved to California with his family from the Philippines in 2012, had learned just the week before the fatal crash that he would go to flight school and start working to become a pilot, his family said. Gayo said her brother studied computer engineering in the Phillippines before the family moved to the United States. Then, when they arrived, first living in Pasadena briefly, her brother did what he could to help the family out. He worked three jobs at one point, including at a local market, Universal Studios and the Los Angeles Unified School District, she said.
