Koran P. Contreras, 21

We will always miss you. You were a great friend

Thank you Koran for your sacrifice in providing us with the freedoms we cherish. You and your family will always be in our thoughts and prayers. You and Doug will always be linked as two brothers who were so selfless in protecting everyone around them. Rest in Peace. Your service and sacrifice are truly inspiring.

Although I only met you once I will always remember you asking my husband to have me send more horchata and tapatio. Thank you for being a wonderful friend to my husband. Rest In Paradise big guy.

Koran you were a great friend. I still remember all the crazy times in high school like they were yesterday. Rest In Paradise my boy.

Leuzinger High School would not have been the same without you been there to light up our office with your HUGE smile every day, without fail. You were always the kid with the BIG backpack and even BIGGER personality. Thank you for touching my life and the lives of others. Thank you for keeping us safe. Bless you.

You will be missed. I remember you were so kind and friendly. I can't believe you are gone now :'(

This hits close to home. I'm a South Bay resident but did not know Koran. Still, I sincerely hope his family and friends take heart in his extreme courage and sacrifice for our country. Koran is and always will be appreciated by his fellow Americans!

Ive been a resident of Lawndale but never met Koran Contreras. I also served in the military. God bless your family for the ultimate sacrafice you made for our country. God awaits you with open arms. RIP brother, another valiant soul pays the ultimate price. Let us always remember this young man and never forget the sacrafice he made.

I am trying to reach someone in the Koran Contreras family. I am with the L.A. Quilt Guild in Downey, CA. We are part of the Home Of The Brave quilt project. When we get word of a fallen hero we start trying to contact a family member to send them a quilt. Please check out www.homeofthebravequilt.com and contact me with this information.
Our condolences to this family.

Tomorrow at Fort Benning, I will be running the Soldier Marathon in honor and memory of Spc. Koran Contreras as a Fallen Hero.

To your Mom, I am so sorry.

Koran growing up you were my best friend. You always knew what to say when things were rough. Every time I saw you, you always had the biggest smile. Also, you would always crack the funniest jokes. I remember when you told me you were going to enlist in the army ,I begged you not to. It's crazy how life can change in a matter of seconds. I will never forget you! Koran you have changed my life forever! I miss you so much!

I miss you dearly. I wish I could've seen you one more time and give you a big hug and tell you how much I love you and how important you are to me. Wait for me in paradise amigo.

THANK YOU!!!!!!! For your sacrifice, words do little to describe our sincere gratitude. However, There is a hope for a future where such wonderful people will not have to die in the wars of the world. ISAIAH 2:4 And he will certainly render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. And they will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore....REV 21:3,4-"death will be no more"
