Atul was an amazing young man. A person of character, morals, and a love for life. I knew him through high school and kept in touch throughout college. He had a promising future and was the kind of individual looking to contribute to society.I can't find enough words to describe the lost suffered.

We will all miss you, Atul!

Greg helped me in the Glendale train crash. I was critically injured and couldn't move. Without regard to his own safety he dug me out of the debris and stayed with me until the paramedics arrived. He was a real hero. I am so shocked and saddened by this.

Chris was the kind of guy everyone loved to be around. He was so warm and welcoming and funny. His love for his wife, family and friends was so evident in everything he did. We will miss his smile and his jokes on the volleyball court. We know Chris is in heaven looking down on us. We love you Chris and we will miss you. We look foward to seeing you again.

As a mother of an 18 year old daughter I wept as I heard the news Friday evening. It was apparent that there was a close bond between you and your daughter. I can only imagine the pain you are enduring at this moment. My condolences go out to you and your family. May you have faith to endure your loss. I will continue to pray for you and your family. Maria will continue to live in your memories and in your heart. God Bless you and give you strength to continue.

Aida was one of those people who would always end up putting a smile on your face. She was so kind, beautiful, smart, and caring. She would put some time aside for those who asked for her help. She was such an inspiration. My prayers are with the Magdaleno family.

Manuel was an AWESOME yoga instructor!!! He was really patient and informative and just a great person overall. Thank you Manuel for being such an awesome person.

L.A. Fitness in Ventura wanted me to tell his family that they send their thoughts & prayers.

May God have you in care now Manuel and may God give your family peace and strength through this time.

I will never forget all of the train rides - all of the laughter - all the karaoke at PC's - all of the foaming :)
You will be missed <3

Walt was a wonderful man. He was kind and loving. I had the pleasure of working with him for several years. He never showed any anger and always had a warm smile for you. He shall be missed. God bless his family in these sad times. Good bye Walt.

  • The coroner's office reported a 26th victim the afternoon of Sept. 15, but a few hours later said the tally was 25.
