A husband and wife from Murrieta survived the mass shooting at a Las Vegas country music festival only to die in a car crash weeks after the Oct. 1 massacre.

Dennis and Lorraine Carver died after their vehicle crashed into a metal gate in the La Cresta area outside Murrieta and burst into flames on Oct. 16.

The car left the roadway on a curve and hit a metal intercom speaker and two brick pillars outside a home before 11 p.m. He was the driver and she the passenger in a Mercedes sedan going north on Avenida De Arboles, a CHP collision report stated.

The Carvers were pronounced dead at 11:15 pm., the Riverside County Coroner’s Office said.

Brooke Carver, the couple’s 20-year-old daughter, says her parents had grown deeper in love in the weeks after the shooting. They had been together 22 years.

At the music festival, Dennis Carver jumped on top of his wife to shield her from bullets, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. They managed to run away from the shooting and were not injured.

Zak Schwank, a Temecula resident who created Temecula Bike Train, which promotes bike riding for families, recounted an experience he had with Lorraine Carver after the Las Vegas shooting.

On Oct. 2, Schwank posted a photo on Facebook asking followers if they could donate a bicycle to a student in need at Temecula Elementary School. The boy’s rusty bike, he said, had flat, balding tires and missing pedals.

Lorraine Carver offered to anonymously donate a new bike for the boy, who had recently moved with his family from Afghanistan to Temecula.

“She just felt like she needed to do something to make the world right,” Schwank said.

Schwank, whose wife teaches at Temecula Elementary School, gave the boy the bike a few days later and met the boy’s father.

“It was probably one of the most powerful conversations I’ve ever had with another human,” Schwank said.

Lorraine Carver later donated another bike to the same family.

“Lora genuinely wanted to impact people — no strings attached,” Schwank said.

Dave Hansen, a Covina resident who knew the family for 20 years, called the couple “good-hearted people.”

Hansen said his wife was with Lorraine Carver at the country music festival. After the shooting, Dennis Carver brought his wife back to their second home in Henderson, Nev., Hansen said. Dennis Carver then drove back to the MGM Grand Hotel to pick up Hansen’s wife and her friend, who had been staying there during the lock down.

“He was completely insistent upon coming back and getting her,” Hansen said.

Brooke Carver and her sister created a GoFundMe fundraiser in memory of her parents. Proceeds will go toward purchasing bikes for Temecula Bike Train.

“Our parents were the most generous and happy people, they lived life to the fullest,” Brooke Carver wrote on the GoFundMe fundraiser page.

“They always taught me and my sister to work hard, play hard, be someone others can rely on, and always give back. We know they will be so grateful for every single donation, none too small.”
