People who gathered for a memorial service to honor the life of Portland shooting victim Aaron “Jay” Danielson spoke about the importance of overcoming anger and hatred, and transcending the situation with forgiveness and courage as they mourned his death.

Danielson, 39, was shot in the chest and killed in downtown Portland on Aug. 29. The shooting occurred after the completion of a rally and caravan in support of President Donald Trump that traveled to Portland from nearby Clackamas County. The suspected killer, Michael Forest Reinoehl, 48, was later shot and killed by police in Lacey, Washington, on Sept. 4.
