He was a really good guy. He played basketball at Narbonne High School, and he used to take us out to play basketball with him. He was nice to us.

Diaz-Varela came to the U.S. from Mexico with his parents in 1991. The family lived in a mobile home park. At the time of his death, his mother already had returned to Guadalajara. He joined the Army so he could save enough money to buy her a home.
