YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – A family honored a lost loved one with a vigil Saturday night.
Yuma residents gathered at Kennedy Memorial Park in remembrance of Jacob Sims, who was murdered in Winterhaven in November of last year.
The vigil was led by Sims’ grandmother, Genia Sims, and mother, who were joined by Sims’ friends and family.
The gathering included a moment of silence and speech from a member of the Sims family‘s church, and Genia was appreciative of the turnout.
“It means so much. It shows us how much Jacob was loved and cared for,” Genia expressed.
The vigil marked exactly one year since Sims‘ passing. He was 23-years-old.
