In Loving Memory of Josias Perez

It is with deep sadness that we remember Josias Perez, 26, of Caruthers, California, whose life was tragically cut short following a devastating wrong-way crash on Interstate 90 in Genesee County, New York.

According to the New York State Police, the fatal collision occurred Friday night, September 4, 2026, shortly before 11 p.m. near the town of LeRoy. Three vehicles were involved in the crash, including the pickup truck driven by Perez, an SUV, and a tractor-trailer.

Investigators said the pickup truck was traveling in the wrong direction in the eastbound lanes of I-90 when it collided with the other vehicles. Tragically, Perez was found deceased at the scene. Despite the efforts of emergency responders, his life could not be saved.

The crash also left the driver of the SUV with internal injuries, and that individual was transported to Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester for treatment. The driver and passenger of the tractor-trailer were not injured.

Members of the LeRoy Fire Department also responded to the scene, where they encountered a vehicle that was on fire and a driver who was trapped. The exact vehicle involved in the fire was not immediately clear.

As authorities continue their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the collision, a family, friends, and loved ones are left to mourn a life that ended far too soon. At just 26 years old, Josias Perez had many more chapters of life ahead of him, making his sudden passing especially heartbreaking.

During this difficult time, may those who knew and loved Josias find comfort in the memories they shared with him. May his life be remembered not only for the tragedy that took him away, but for the moments of kindness, laughter, friendship, and love that he brought into the lives of others.

Our deepest condolences go out to Josias Perez’s family, friends, and everyone affected by this heartbreaking loss.

In Loving Memory of Kenan Ellis

The community of Duncanville, Texas, is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Kenan Ellis, whose life was tragically cut short following a wrong-way crash on U.S. Highway 67 overnight.

According to the Dallas County Sheriff’s Department, the devastating collision occurred in Duncanville during the overnight hours, resulting in at least one person’s death. Authorities closed the highway before midnight Thursday as emergency crews responded to the scene and worked to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash.

For Kenan Ellis, what began as an ordinary journey ended in unimaginable tragedy. His passing has left behind a painful silence for those who knew and loved him, as family, friends, and members of the community come to terms with a loss that came far too soon.

A life cannot be measured simply by the number of years someone was given. It is measured by the memories they leave behind, the people they touched, the conversations shared, the moments of laughter, and the love that continues even after someone is gone. Kenan’s life will be remembered through those moments and through the people who had the privilege of knowing him.

The sudden nature of this tragedy makes the loss especially difficult. There was little warning and no opportunity to prepare for the grief that followed. One moment, there was a future filled with possibilities; the next, loved ones were left facing the devastating reality of an empty place where someone should still be.

The crash also brought significant disruption to the Duncanville community. Traffic was diverted from U.S. 67 onto S. Main Street while authorities and emergency personnel remained at the scene. The highway was eventually reopened shortly after 4 a.m. Friday, but for Kenan’s loved ones, the consequences of that night will continue long after the roadway has returned to normal.

Behind every traffic collision is more than a police report or a closed highway. There are families waiting for answers, friends remembering shared experiences, and loved ones trying to understand how someone they cared about could suddenly be gone.

As the investigation continues, those closest to Kenan are left with memories that cannot be taken away. His presence, his personality, and the moments he shared with others will remain part of the lives of those who knew him.

Today, we remember Kenan Ellis not simply as a victim of a tragic crash, but as a person whose life mattered. His story is now intertwined with a heartbreaking loss, but his memory can continue through the people who loved him, the memories they hold close, and the impact he made during his time with them.

May those grieving Kenan find strength in one another during this difficult time. May they find comfort in the memories they shared and in knowing that his life touched others.

Rest in peace, Kenan Ellis.

Your time was far too short, but your memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved you.

In loving memory of Kenan Ellis. Never forgotten. Forever remembered.

In Loving Memory of Heather M. Robinson

BAZETTA TOWNSHIP, OH — The Ohio State Highway Patrol’s Warren Post is investigating a tragic motorcycle crash that claimed the life of Heather M. Robinson, 42, of Cortland, Ohio, early Friday morning, September 4.

According to authorities, the fatal crash occurred at approximately 4 a.m. on State Route 46 (Niles Cortland Road NE), near Cadwallader Sonk Road in Bazetta Township, Trumbull County. The incident brought emergency responders from the Bazetta Township Fire Department and EMS to the scene.

Preliminary information indicates that Robinson was traveling southbound on State Route 46 while operating a 2006 Suzuki GXR 1000. During the early-morning journey, two horses unexpectedly entered the roadway.

Robinson’s motorcycle struck one of the horses. The impact caused the motorcycle to leave the right side of the roadway and travel into a ditch. Robinson suffered fatal injuries in the crash and was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The two horses were subsequently returned to their enclosure. Authorities reported that one of the horses sustained minor injuries in the incident.

Officials said Robinson was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. They also stated that alcohol and drug impairment are not believed to have been factors in the collision.

The circumstances surrounding the crash remain under investigation by the Ohio State Highway Patrol’s Warren Post. Investigators will continue working to determine the events leading up to the collision and the circumstances that allowed the horses to enter the roadway.

Heather M. Robinson’s death is a heartbreaking loss for her family, friends, and everyone who knew her. A life was taken in a sudden and devastating moment, leaving loved ones to face the difficult days ahead without her.

As the investigation continues, Robinson’s family and friends are left to remember the woman she was beyond the circumstances of the crash — a daughter, relative, friend, and member of the Cortland community whose life mattered to those around her.

Her passing is a solemn reminder of how quickly circumstances on the road can change, particularly during the early morning hours when visibility and reaction time can be affected. Despite wearing a helmet and with authorities not believing impairment played a role, Robinson could not survive the unexpected collision.

At this time, authorities have not released additional details regarding Robinson’s family or funeral arrangements.

May Heather M. Robinson be remembered with love and compassion, and may her family, friends, and loved ones find strength and comfort as they mourn her passing.

In Loving Memory of Heather M. Robinson, 42, of Cortland, Ohio.
