In May 2016, Aero Transportation had the honor of participating in the Memorial Day Parade. At the time, Jason Rios, Jalin’s father, was working with us as a driver. Over the years, we had come to know not only Jason, but also his wife and children.
When we asked Jason to join us for the parade, he was unable to make it, but he sent his handsome young son, Jalin Rios, in his place. In this photo, you can see Jalin proudly helping hold the Aero Transportation banner as we walked from City Market to Hyde Park along Pine Avenue.
He left a beautiful impression on all of us that day. He smiled the entire time, waved to the crowd, and brought so much joy to everyone around him.
It is with deep sadness that we share that in the early hours of July 5, Jalin was tragically taken from this world.
Today, we remember that sweet young boy, his bright smile, and the joy he brought to so many. He will be deeply missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Rios family during this heartbreaking time.
