SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY — Kim Gervais, a 57-year-old Jurupa Valley resident, has become the 59th victim of the nation’s worst mass shooting, the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival in Las Vegas, according to the San Bernardino County coroner.

Gervais, who was shot in the back and suffered spinal injuries in the Oct. 1, 2017, mass shooting, died Friday, Nov. 15, after being brought to Redlands Community Hospital, the coroner division of the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department reported in a news release. Gervais was declared dead at 4:51 p.m., the coroner reported.

The Associated Press also reported that Gervais has died, citing KPTV in Oregon, which quoted Gervais’ sister, Dena Sarvela of Vancouver, Washington.

The San Bernardino County coroner’s news release stated that the division planned an autopsy.

Before Gervais was taken to the hospital, the coroner’s office said she was being cared for at a nursing facility in Redlands.

Gervais went to the outdoor country music concert with two friends. One of them, Menifee resident Pati Mestas, was killed during the mass shooting. The three friends were among more than 20,000 concertgoers from throughout the country who attended.

Gervais was one of more than 160 people who were struck by bullets.

Left a quadriplegic by her injuries when gunman Stephen Paddock opened fire on the crowd of concertgoers from high above in a nearby resort hotel, the adventuresome Gervais was confined to a wheelchair after spending much of her life riding all-terrain vehicles in the desert, according to a 2017 New York Times article. After the shooting, she had no feeling in her legs and limited use of her arms, the newspaper reported.

The family has endured much tragedy.

In the early 2000s, Gervais’ husband, George, a sprint car racer, died in a crash at the Perris Auto Speedway.
