Some people know Kristin Urquiza as the woman who condemned President Donald Trump s handling of the coronavirus pandemic at the 2020 Democratic National Convention.
Others know her from the obituary she wrote for her father who died from COVID-19 that went viral.
But Tolleson City Council members and city staff know her as just one of the members of the beloved Urquiza family.
Tolleson is a small, 6-square mile city west of downtown Phoenix, with some 7,000 residents. It s a tight-knit community where families stay for generations and neighbors sometimes grow up together.
The Urquizas have deep roots in the city, and council members mourned the loss of 65-year-old Mark Urquiza, who died from COVID-19 last June.
All throughout 2020 since March, anyway a song rattled around in my head: People Who Died, by the Jim Carroll Band. It was a minor hit in the early 1980s; maybe you know it. Carroll, the punk-poet author of
The Basketball Diaries, wrote it as a sort of tribute to friends he knew who died before their time. Some of them met wild ends: a guy killed by bikers, a woman who jumped in front of a subway train. Others left Earth via less dramatic but nevertheless heartbreaking routes. My favorite line goes:
Bobby got leukemia, fourteen years old / He looked like sixty-five when he died / He was a friend of mine. The chorus goes:
He uplifts me : S.F. heroes bring solace amid the loneliness, struggle of the pandemic
