It happened last weekend on Ferguson Road, about a mile from the victim’s house.
Two people, including a child, riding in the suspected drunken driver’s SUV were also injured in the crash.
Amezquita is being remembered as a devoted family man who had recently been teaching his 17-year-old daughter how to drive. “He loved us very much,” his son Andres Amezquita said. “He did anything and everything for us. He worked his whole life so that we could do better.”
He also helped anyone in need.
His family said he spent days clearing snow and fixing busted water pipes for his neighbors following last month’s winter storm.
