A registered nurse who sacrificed his life to save his wife. A veteran of the war in Afghanistan whose last Facebook post, from July, starts, “What’s it like being shot at?” A beloved special education teacher. A grandmother of five who died in the arms of her husband of 32 years. A high school secretary described as a “beautiful person.” A college student with a “huge heart” who overcame previous health issues. An off-duty cop who wrote a book called “Memoirs of a Public Servant.” These are just some of the at least 58 people who died in Las Vegas during the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

Heavy is committed to honoring them all. You will find a photo and bio for each of the 58 deceased victims below. There were also at least 489 other people injured when the 64-year-old gunman armed with at least 23 firearms unleashed a barrage of bullets from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay onto a crowd of thousands of concert-goers who were attending the Route 91 Harvest Festival (the injury count dropped slightly on October 4 due to hospital double counting errors).

The victims’ personalities were captured and documented in heartbreaking posts and comments from loved ones, from those who knew them best (and which you can read below). They were a cross-section of America (and Canada in several cases): men and women, young and older (ranging in age from 20s to 60s), of different ethnic backgrounds, from different states, countries, experiences and occupations. The shooter represents the worst of us; they, say family and friends, represented the best, and within the list, we can all find, in a way, elements of ourselves.

They died, horrifically and unfairly, simply because they chose to go to a concert in an American city for different reasons – vacations, birthdays, a pure love of the music, to protect the people there. The randomness of it all is deeply startling; in several cases, couples were standing together but only one was shot (or killed.) The difference: A few inches. “I want the world to know Denise,” Tony Burditus told Fox News about his high school sweetheart and wife of 32 years with a “beautiful” smile who was shot while holding his hand and who died in his arms. “Get online if you haven’t already and look at photos and see her beautiful smile,” he said.

In one case, both members of a couple died; Denise Cohen, who died with her boyfriend, Lt. Derrick “Bo” Taylor, a conservation camp commander, had posted lyrics on Facebook that remained prominently displayed after the shooting, and now took on a different meaning:

When the night has come, and the land is dark. And the moon is the only light we’ll see. No I won’t be afraid. No I won’t be afraid. Just as long as you stand by me.

The coldness of it all is something that is impossible to shake: Bullets fired from afar by a madman without clear motive who knew nothing of the people he killed. That is another reason why we must remember and humanize them – each and every one of them.

Police said the gunman was found dead in the Mandalay Bay hotel room that he used to stage the shooting; it’s believed he killed himself. The shooter was identified as Stephen Craig Paddock, a 64-year-old, nondescript, retired, divorced accountant who lived in a retirement community in Mesquite. He killed his victims in the most indiscriminate and impersonal way possible, from a far above hotel window.

A GoFundMe account has been set up to raise money for the victims. You can make a donation here. Some of the injured are still fighting for their lives. In addition, Heavy has compiled a list of verified GoFundMe pages for victims and survivors of the attack. The stories of the wounded also deserve attention, and you can read that here.

Here are the deceased victims identified so far:

Chris Roybal survived deployment to Afghanistan, only to die while watching a concert at home. He eloquently wrote about his service overseas and the challenges that came with it.

One man wrote on Facebook, “Chris Roybal died last night in Las Vegas. As you can see he served in the 25th and 4th Infantry Divisions in Afghanistan… Sad he honorably served his country against a foreign enemy only to be shot… Sad he honorably served his country against a foreign enemy only to be shot down by a coward back here in the USA… RIP Chris… I never knew you but proud to have served in the same military as you…”

Roybal’s last Facebook post that is publicly visible dates to July. It is rather eerie – and incredibly moving – in retrospect. He wrote:

What’s it like being shot at?” A question people ask because it’s something that less that 1% of our American population will ever experience. Especially one on a daily basis. My response has always been the same, not one filled with a sense of pride or ego, but an answer filled with truth and genuine fear/anger. *which by the way, go hand in hand* Depending on my level of intoxication, I respond with nothing short of the truth from first hand experience. Entering with what our national News channels would report at the time as ‘the deadliest place on earth’ I was excited for my first taste of what real combat would be. What it would be like to be a real gunfighter in the modern day Wild Wild West. My first fight was something I never will forget. Finishing up what was supposed to be a quick 4-hour foot patrol, I remember placing my hand on the Stryker and telling Bella how well she did. Hearing the most distinct sounds of a whip cracking and pinging of metal off of the vehicle I just had my hand resting on is something that most see in movies. I remember that first day, not sure how to feel. It was never fear, to be honest, mass confusion. Sensory overload…followed by the most amount of natural adrenaline that could never be duplicated through a needle. I was excited, angry and manic. Ready to take on what became normal everyday life in the months to follow. Taking on the fight head on, grabbing the figurative ‘Bull by the horns’. Unfortunately, as the fights continue and as they as increase in numbers and violence, that excitement fades and the anger is all that’s left. The anger stays, long after your friends have died, the lives you’ve taken are buried and your boots are placed neatly in a box in some storage unit. Still covered in the dirt you’ve refused to wash off for fear of forgetting the most raw emotions you as a human being will ever feel again. What’s it like to be shot at? It’s a nightmare no amount of drugs, no amount of therapy and no amount of drunk talks with your war veteran buddies will ever be able to escape. Cheers boys.

One man wrote on Roybal’s comment thread, after news broke that Roybal was among the Las Vegas victims: “A group of us (all police officers and some war vets) are in Nevada for a training conference. I was tagged in this post and read it aloud to our group. Knowing what we know now we couldn’t help but tear up, hide behind our drinks, and walk out of the room. God Bless you for your service to our country. It’s difficult to accept that you fought overseas for our country only to be killed by a coward when you came home.”

Roybal’s mother was at the concert, but she couldn’t get to him, and she says he was celebrating his birthday:

Sonny Melton, of Paris, Tennessee, was the first victim of the shooting to be identified, WZTV reports. Melton was at the Las Vegas concert with his wife, and she told the news station he saved her life while sacrificing his own.

“At this point, I’m in complete disbelief and despair. I don’t know what to say. Sonny was the most kind-hearted, loving man I have ever met. He saved my life and lost his,” Heather Gulish Melton said in a statement to the news station. She told WSMV-TV, “He saved my life. He grabbed me and started running when I felt him get shot in the back. I want everyone to know what a kind-hearted, loving man he was, but at this point, I can barely breathe.”

Sonny Melton worked as a registered nurse at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital in Jackson, Tennessee in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU), according to his Facebook profile. He previously worked as a financial advisor, graduating from the University of Tennessee at Martin with a finance degree in 2010. He went back to school and earned his nursing degree from Union University in 2015. He was a 2006 graduate of Big Sandy High School in Big Sandy, Tennessee.

Union University said on Facebook, “Our hearts go out to the family of Sonny Melton, a 2015 Union University graduate who was killed in the Las Vegas shooting yesterday. Sonny completed his Bachelor of Science in Nursing Accelerated degree from Union and was president of his BSNA class. He worked in the emergency department at Henry County Medical Center and was attending the country music festival in Las Vegas with his wife, Heather Gulish Melton.”

Christy Davis, assistant professor of nursing at the school, said, “You know how when you met someone and you just know that they’re good and kind? That was Sonny. He just had a sweet, kind spirit about him.”

A co-worker, Victoria Peyton Dowd, wrote on Facebook, “Terribly saddened to learn we lost one of our ER nurses from HCMC in the tragedy that took place in Las Vegas. My heart aches for Sonny Melton, his wife and family, and our HCMC family. You never think about things like this happening to someone you know, much less someone from your work family. Sonny was such an amazing person and an amazing nurse. I’m thankful I had the pleasure of knowing such an awesome man.”

Quinton Robbins, 20, of Henderson, Nevada, has been identified as one of the victims killed in the shooting. His aunt, Kilee Wells Sanders, wrote on Facebook, “With an incredibly heavy heart. My sweetest nephew has passed away. He was the most kind and loving soul. Everyone who met him, loved him. His contagious laugh and smile. He was truly an amazing person. He will be missed by so many, he is loved by so many. So many awesome talents. I can’t say enough good about this sweet soul. Because of the gospel and plan of salvation I have faith we will be with him again.”

Sanders added, “Quinton Robbins, I, and your entire family will miss you so much everyday. Always will be thinking about you. Please pray & be there for his parents Tracey Wells Robbins and siblings at this time.”

According to his Facebook page, Robbins was a student at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas (UNLV) and graduated from Basic High School in Henderson. He worked as a recreational assistant for the city of Henderson.

Another aunt, Doreen Hawk-Wells, wrote on Facebook, “It is with a heavy heart that I post this. My beautiful nephew, Quinton Robbins age 20, was killed at the concert in Vegas last night. He was an amazing young man who had a huge heart and would do anything for anyone. He overcame health issues and did not let them interfere with living his life to the fullest. Please pray for our family, especially his parents and siblings. I can’t begin to imagine how they will deal with this. I love them with all my heart and wish I could take all the hurt and pain away.”

An off-duty Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officer, 34-year-old Charleston Hartfield, is among the victims killed in the Route 91 concert shooting, his friends tell the Review-Journal.

Hartfield, a military veteran and youth football coach, was known as Charles or Chucky, his friends said.

“I don’t know a better man than Charles,” Troy Rhett told the newspaper. “They say it’s always the good ones we lose early. There’s no truer statement than that with Charles. … Our hearts have just been very heavy since hearing the news.”

Another friend, Stan King, told the newspaper, Hartfield was “seriously one of the nicest guys ever” and “the most true-blue American guy I’ve ever met.”

Allen Rhett wrote on Facebook, “To my very good friend Charleston Hartfield and his family. You will be missed so much as you are the symbol of what it means to be a great person, friend, husband, father and Coach. Chucky, you were one of the best people I have ever known and I think I speak for many when I say my heart is heavy with sorrow. I will always continue to love you and your family even if you are no longer here with us. My brother, my friend.”

Hartfield recently published a book, “Memoirs of a Public Servant.” It is described on Amazon as, “Documenting the thoughts, feelings, and interactions of one Police Officer in the busiest and brightest city in the world, Las Vegas. This memoir takes you through the personal interactions experienced by a Police Officer with not only the community he seeks to serve but with his partners and their personalities. Some calls are over in an instant while others stick with you forever. Take a sneak peek into this Pandora’s box and see if perception really is reality.”

Jordan McIldoon, 23 of Maple Ridge, British Columbia, is one of two Canadians killed in the concert shooting, the CBC reports. A woman who was at the scene, Heather Gooze, wrote on Facebook that McIldoon died in her arms, the news network reports. His parents confirmed their son’s death.

“We only had one child,” Al and Angela McIldoon told the CBC. “We just don’t know what to do.”

Gooze wrote Sunday morning, “Friends and family, I am ok. I am right outside of the festival grounds. We are not allowed to go anywhere. I am with a young man who died in my arms! RIP Jordan mcildoon from British Columbia. I can’t believe this just happened!!!”

McIldoon’s girlfriend was also with him at the scene, his parents said. They told the CBC that their son grew up on the family acreage in Maple Ridge and was a “self-described cowboy boot, tattoo-covered redneck who loved the outdoors.” According to his Facebook page, McIldoon went to Thomas Haney Secondary School and worked as a heavy duty mechanic at Jacob Bros Construction. His parents told the CBC he was set to begin trade school.

A friend, Julia Vickers, wrote on Facebook, “You were a great guy in high school, a pain in the ass too. You made my first two years in high school worthwhile. You were always a friend later, someone I could count on. My heart breaks for your girlfriend, friends and family. My thoughts are with them. I lost touch with Jordan, but he was the greatest kid who had the funniest laugh. I’ll cherish the moments we shared. ❤️ Rest easy my friend. I can’t believe this has happened to you. I’m at lost for words.”

He would have turned 24 on Friday.

Jessica Klymchuk, 28, of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

28-year-old Jessica Klymchuk of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, was killed while visiting Las Vegas with her fiance, My Grand Prairie Now reports. Klymchuk was originally from Valleyview, Alberta, and worked for the local Catholic school district.

“It is with shock and sadness that we confirm the loss of a Holy Family Catholic Regional Division staff member. An Educational Assistant, Librarian and Bus Driver for St. Stephen’s School in Valleyview, was one of the victims of the mass shooting in Las Vegas on Sunday evening. The scope of this tragedy is worldwide and we are feeling its impact here at home,” Superintendent Betty Turpin said in a statement. “The District will be continuing to support our entire school family. We will have crisis support in place immediately and as long as is needed. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, as well as all the families affected by this unimaginable attack.”

Klymchuk was in Las Vegas with her fiance, Brent Irla, according to her family. She is also survived by her four children. Irla posted a touching photo of Klymchuk on Facebook last week, writing, “You and me together is my favourite place to be.”

She wrote back, ” I get lost in your smile and the look in your eyes takes me to a place most only dream about. Brent you are heaven sent. You are my one and only, You’re one of a kind ❤”

Adrian Murfitt, 35, of Anchorage, Alaska

Adrian Murfitt, 35, of Anchorage, Alaska, was identified as one of the victims by his mother, the Anchorage Daily News reports. He had recently finished a summer of commercial fishing.

Murfitt died in the arms of his best friend, Brian MacKinnon.

“We were taking a picture and it went through his neck,” said MacKinnon told the newspaper. “There’s a lot of amazing people — there was nurses, doctors, firemen. Everybody who was at that concert really jumped on it, did everything they could. We just couldn’t save him.”

MacKinnon wrote on Facebook, “Sadly, he died in my arms.”

Murfitt played hockey at Dimond High School, his mother told the newspaper.

MacKinnon told the Anchorage Daily News that the two friends decided three weeks ago to go to the show. He said Murfitt was pretty much the “best dude” ever.

“He was always happy. He was always there for his friends,” MacKinnon told the newspaper. “He was always down to help you with a project. He was smart, talented, funny as hell. He was just a top-notch friend.”

Another Victim of Las Vegas Shooting Massacre Identified. #VegasStrong https://t.co/Xmc7wcYIzb RIP John Phippen ? pic.twitter.com/Pz4SzrtKKi — I Yam What I Yam (@Nvr4Get91101) October 3, 2017

One minute John Phippen was dancing with his son, and the next minute, he was being carried to a car, fatally wounded.

There is a GoFundMe site to help John Phippen’s children. According to SignalCV, “John Phippen ran a home remodelling and repair company in Valencia called J P Specialities.”

According to The Los Angeles Times, “He was dancing next to his son, Travis, at the country music festival in Las Vegas when he was struck by a bullet in the lower back. Travis, an emergency medical technician, carried his father to a car” that rushed to the hospital, but it was too late.

“Today, we lost an amazing, wonderful, selfless, sweet soul of man to a sensless act of violence in the Las Vegas Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting,” it reads.

“My name is Leah Nagyivanyi and I was a Santa Clarita neighbor and a friend of John’s for 17+ years. My husband Paul and John had become very close over the past three years. All of us spending time in the Sand Dunes, Havasu and doing lots of beach camping. We intertwined many of our friends and to say we are devastated by this loss is an understatement. If you didn’t know John you surely missed out. He had a heart that was larger than life and a personality to match. You felt like you knew him for years the first time you met him. He was a simple man who enjoyed the simple things in life and having fun doing them.”

Phippen was remembered as a man who “had your back from the moment he met you and by having your back that could mean, having a cold beer in your hand when yours was empty or if you needed help with your car or in our case, your sandrail, your house or you just needed to chill. Even if you were someone he had never met before but were in need, he was there for you.”

The GoFundMe page added, “This is a man who loved his family and his friends as if they were family. It is unfortunate to say he left alot behind. John has five children and one grandson of which he absolutely adored. His youngest daughter is only 14 and who lost her Mom only 3 short years ago. It is a tragedy to lose your father and mother both at such a young age. They need our help with some of the expenses involved in laying him to rest and picking up the pieces of their lives that have been shattered by this tragedy.”

A mother of three who worked for a computer software company, Neysa Tonks was remembered as “a very nice woman who was full of life and energy,” said her former church counselor Tracy Downey to the Review Journal. “All she was doing was enjoying her life and celebrating with friends when a madman opened fired as if he were playing a video game.”

The company Technologent wrote in a statement, “The Technologent family lost one of our own in this tragedy. A great mother, colleague and friend, Neysa Tonks. She leaves behind three boys – Kaden, Braxton and Greysen. Neysa has brought so much joy, fun and laughter to Technologent – she will be greatly missed by all!” Neysa was a global account executive for the company in Las Vegas, according to LinkedIn.

The company has set up a GoFundMe site to help Neysa’s family. Neysa was from Salt Lake City, Utah, according to her Facebook page. Her photos show her with family and friends.

If you can please help us raise money to help her through this I would greatly appreciate it.”

Steve was one of the sweetest, happiest, easy going guys in our class who got along with pretty much everyone even when we all got awkward in middle school. We lost touch after high school, but I will always remember his contagious smile and the conversations we had growing up that typically ended with his positive easy going outlook on life that just made you feel like everything is going to be ok.”

The Sun reports that Brian Fraser “was surrounded by family and friends, having the time of his life, and walking toward the stage to hear his favorite Jason Aldean song, ‘Dirt Road Anthem,’ when he was shot and killed.”

The father of four was remembered by his stepson, Nick Arellano, as “my rock and my mentor. He became my dad and my father figure. He helped anyone who asked. That’s why people loved and adored him.”

Arellano said “his father loved to hunt, deep-sea fish, snowboard and attend his children’s sporting events. Fraser has recently earned his private pilot’s license. He was a churchgoing man,” the newspaper reported.

A GoFundMe page to help Fraser’s family said, “It is with great sadness to announce the loss of our dearly beloved Brother, Brian Fraser. We lost Brian on the Sunday night of October 1st during the 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas. Brian was an initiated member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity at the California State Polytechnic University, Pomona.

On behalf of the Cal Poly Pomona Alumni Association of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, we please ask for your assistance by praying for the Fraser family and to those who were close to him. In addition, we please ask for your assistance in making a charitable donation to help the family during this time. Brian is a loved father, husband, and brother to many and his passing will truly affect us all.”

Andrea Castilla, 28, Huntington Beach, California

Andrea Castilla was holding hands with her sister listening to the concert, when they heard someone yell “duck.” It was too late – Andrea was shot in the head in the rampage.

She was celebrating her 28th birthday.

That’s the account her aunt gave on GoFundMe.

“She was there celebrating her 28th Birthday. She was holding hands with her sister watching the band when they heard “Duck” and shots being fired. Sadly, Andrea was shot in the head. Her boyfriend, Derek Miller, her sister, Athena, and Athena’s fiancé, Shane Armstrong, immediately tried carrying her to safety dodging bullets along they way,” the page says.

“They continued to shield her as bullets rang out around them. With help of others they carried her over a fence – and got her to the highway and flagged down a passing motorist who took them to the hospital in the back of his truck. They waited 7 hours in the emergency room – hospital staff telling them that she was in surgery etc. only to be told that she passed away upon admittance. They had confused her with another patient. With the chaos and no ID she was lost in the system. The family provided her ID and Facebook photos and she was confirmed deceased.”

These funds “will be used for her memorial service, to allow her family to stay in Las Vegas until her body is released, to help the family with counseling and give them time to grieve,” the page reads.

In a moving post on Facebook, Andrea’s brother wrote, “Andrea my beloved sister, I can’t even close my eyes without picturing the joy you brought to me and this world. Never have I had something so precious ripped from my life. I am completely shattered. You were a light that came into this world on my birthday, you are the greatest gift life has ever given me.”

According to The Washington Post, Andrea “was a makeup artist at Sephora in Huntington Beach” who did the makeup of her cancer-stricken mother when she was ill to make her feel better (her mother preceded her in death.)

Nicol Kimura, 38, Placentia, California

Nicol Kimura was a person who “made you jealous of how much she loved life.”

That’s the description of Nicol on GoFundMe by her friend Ryan Miller. “Nicol’s life was taken during the tragedy in Las Vegas. She did not deserve this and we are heartbroken, but we trust that her life and legacy will live on . We are asking for your help in supporting the family of Nicol in bringing her home and celebrating her life in any way we all can. All proceeds will go to help Nicol’s family with any and all expenses. Any additional money raised will be given to a charity in Nicol’s name,” he wrote.

Nicol’s “heart was bigger than most human beings, her spirit was beautiful, her laugh was infectious, and she just had a way of making every time we gathered an awesome one. She made you jealous of how much she loved life. And if you didn’t know her, you missed out on a better life than the one you have.”

Miller said that he and “our close knit group of 7 was in attendance together at Route 91, up from Orange County, California. We scattered after the shooting began and were reunited, less one, many hours later. As the money is withdrawn, we will give it directly to her mom and dad to support their expenses in traveling up to Las Vegas and back home with Nicol as well as memorial services.”

Her full name was Teresa Nicol Kimura, but she went by Nicol. According to The Orange County Register, Kimura worked for Orange County (she helped collect tax payments).

Brett Schwanbeck, 61, Bullhead City, Arizona

Schwanbeck posted several photos on Facebook from Route 91 festival on September 30.

According to The Washington Post, Schwanbeck was “a grandfather of five and a retired big-rig truck driver” who “felt most at home in the wooded outdoors.” His fiancé, Anna Orozco, is tagged in his Facebook photos at the concert. She told the Post: “He was a fun-loving, hard-living man. He enjoyed life, and he’d help out anyone who needed help. … He was such a big, important part of my life.”

He was initially described as being among the wounded, but the Post listed him as being among the dead. A GoFundMe site in his memory confirms this, saying, “It is with great sadness and broken hearts to share that our beloved Father, Grandfather, Brother, Son, Uncle, Fiance & friend was taken from us too soon. Brett & his fiance Anna were attending the 3 day country music festival in Las Vegas when the shots rang out that fateful night of October 1, 2017. Brett was shot in one of the very initial rounds of gunfire as most people still had no idea what was happening around them. After trying to help Brett in between gunfire rounds, Anna was able to find refuge in a dumpster, all while never taking her eyes off Brett.”

After the shooting ceased, the site continues, “she begged for people to assist in getting him medical attention. Several people helped carry him on a concert fencing to get him to an awaiting ambulance. He was taken to Sunrise Medical Center and fought a great fight to recover from his injuries. Unfortunately he passed away on the afternoon of October 3, 2017. Brett was a great man that was funny, generous, kind, loving and so full of joy! He would drive 500 miles to help you if you needed it.”

He was known for his love of family.

“He loved his family dearly and cherished lake trips, family gatherings, hunting, camping and spending time with his kids and grandkids. He was so loving and this tradegy is so difficult on everyone close to him,” the site noted.
