Victor was a very loving and caring person with a love for life. And even in his last hour, Victor demonstrated just how much of a giving person he was by laying his life down for another.”
Miss Esquivel and Mr. Treviño were joined by their parents: Mr. and Mrs. Gabriel Chávez and Mr. and Mrs. José Treviño.
Victor Paul’s siblings and other family members were present at the scholarship award ceremony. They were also accompanied by the Holy Cross alumni who helped to raise the funds awarded to Miss Esquivel and Mr. Treviño.
