Just two days after a Los Angeles County fire specialist lost his life, his teenage daughter had to graduate from high school without the presence of her father. However, hundreds of her late father’s colleagues came forward and took part in the emotional ceremony in honor of the fallen hero.
Joslyn Carlon from Saugus High wore the jacket that belonged to her father, Tory, over her graduation gown as she accepted her diploma at the June 3 ceremony. A sheriff’s deputy, a friend of the family, took her arm as she left the stage.
