Vigil held for Santa Rosa postal worker killed in crash while working

SANTA ROSA, Calif. (KGO) — A candlelight vigil was held in Santa Rosa Tuesday night to remember 33-year-old Irvin Hernandez, the postal worker who was killed on his job Monday night.

“We’re all brothers and sisters and we’re all here for each other, you know, so we’re one big family and I miss that guy already,” said Mateo Crawford.

Mateo Crawford worked with Hernandez and just like those who attended the vigil, he’s heartbroken.

We spoke with another of Irvin’s co-workers, Chad Lamb who is the union president of the Santa Rosa branch.

“He was always positive, always a smile on his face – he never said anything bad about anybody, he was always a very positive figure in the office,” said Lamb.

“One of those people that would make you smile and laugh no matter when you were expecting it, or if you needed it, you know he would automatically do that,” said Crawford.
