This year s event, which honored 53 people who died, was held virtually to stem the spread of the coronavirus. Utah’s homeless advocates and service providers gathered for a virtual vigil on Monday the longest night of the year to honor the lives of the 53 homeless or formerly homeless people who died in the state in 2020. They were “daughters, sons, mothers, fathers, husbands, wives and friends,” said Pamela Atkinson, a community advocate for the homeless, during the vigil.
