Final two victims of Mandalay Massacre are identified

The final two victims of the Las Vegas massacre have been identified as a retired truck driver who was with his fiancee and a student who was at the concert with his girlfriend as a birthday present.

Brett Schwanbeck, 61, and Austin Meyer, 24, have been named among the 58 people killed by gunman Stephen Paddock.

Schwanbeck was at the Route 91 Harvest music festival with his wife-to-be, Anna Orozco, when 64-year-old Paddock started shooting from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel.

His niece Carla Van Hoosen said the 61-year-old, from Bullhead City, Arizona was a ‘great man that was funny, generous, kind, loving and so full of joy’. 

The retired truck driver, who died in hospital on Tuesday from injuries sustained during the horrific shooting, is survived by five siblings, three children and five grandchildren.

It has also emerged that 24-year-old Austin Meyer, from Marina, California was among Paddock’s victims.

The student was celebrating his birthday and his anniversary with girlfriend Dana and was a fan of Bobby Bones and the Raging Idiots, one of the acts performing at the festival.

His family thanked the firefighter and a concert-goer who gave him medical aid during the chaotic scenes. 

A number of GoFundMe pages have been established for the victims and their families. Donate to Angela Gomez, Neysa Tonks, Chris Roybal, Cameron Robinson and Stacee Etcheber. 

Below is a list of the people who have been identified among the dead so far. 

Brett Schwanbeck 

The 61-year-old had traveled from his home in Bullhead City, Arizona to attend the Route 91 Harvest music festival with his fiancee Anna Orozco.

Schwanbeck, a retired truck driver, died in hospital on Tuesday from injuries sustained during the horrific shooting carried out by 64-year-old gunman Stephen Paddock.

According to Las Vegas Now, his niece Carla Van Hoosen wrote on a GoFundMe page: ‘Brett was a great man that was funny, generous, kind, loving and so full of joy.

‘He would drive 500 miles to help you if you needed it. He loved his family dearly and cherished lake trips, family gatherings, hunting, camping and spending time with his kids and grandkids.’

He is survived by five siblings, three children and five grandchildren. 

Austin Meyer 

The 24-year-old student, from Marina, California was at the music festival with his girlfriend Dana as a surprise birthday present and to mark the couple’s anniversary.

Meyer, a Seaside High School graduate, was a fan of Bobby Bones and the Raging Idiots, one of the acts performing at the festival.

His family thanked the firefighter and a concert-goer from Minnesota who gave him medical aid during the chaotic scenes. 

Sister Veronica Meyer described him as ‘ambitious, smart, and hard working’ and ‘a joy to be around’.

‘He always had a smile on his face, was (witty) and was always making people laugh,’ she said according to KSBW.

‘He was passionate about cars, loved sports, basketball in particular, and his favorite team (was) the Boston Celtics.

He had recently moved to Reno, Nevada  and was studying Transportation Technologies at Truckee Meadows Community College.

Veronica added: ‘He had dreams of opening his own auto repair shop after graduation. He was excited to get married and start a family.’

In California he worked as a driver for Main Event Transportation where he was ‘well loved by his co workers’. 

Sonny Melton 

Sonny Melton’s wife Heather, a surgeon, who was with him watching Jason Aldean at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas, says her brave and selfless 29-year-old husband died saving her life.

‘He saved my life. He grabbed me and started running when I felt him get shot in the back,’ she told WSMV. ‘I want everyone to know what a kind-hearted, loving man he was, but at this point, I can barely breathe.’

The couple lived in Big Sandy, Tennessee, where Melton worked as a registered nurse in an emergency room and ICU at Henry County Medical Center. 

His wife works at the hospital and he aided her in the operating room. They married in 2016.

‘We were the couple that never should have met, fallen in love or had a future together….but life is funny and we believe God brought us together as soul mates,’ read their wedding page on The Knot. ‘We have shared amazing times together and nearly unbearable heartaches but through it all we have grown stronger in our love for each other and our families.’

Lisa Romero 

Romero, a high school secretary from Gallup, New Mexico, was an ‘incredible loving and sincere friend, mentor and advocate for students,’ the Gallup-McKinley County Public Schools interim superintendent said Monday.

District officials confirmed to reporters on Monday that Romero, 48, died sometime after a 64-year-old man fired multiple weapons.

‘Last night during the mass shooting in Las Vegas we lost one of our staff members,’ interim superintendent Mike Hyatt wrote to employees. ‘Lisa Romero, discipline secretary at Miyamura (High School), was a victim in the shooting. Our prayers go out to her family during this tragic time.’

Survivors included Romero-Muniz’s husband, children and grandchildren, Hyatt said. Officials announced a candlelight vigil in honor of Romero-Muniz set for Monday night.

Christiana Duarte

The 21-year-old was a business marketing graduate of the University of Arizona and was reported missing on Sunday night after the shooting.

But on Tuesday, her family confirmed the devastating news she had passed away.

Duarte, of Redondo Beach, California, graduated from UA in May and had been an fan service intern with the University of Arizona Wildcat Hockey team, her first full-time job since graduating from the university.  

She is the sister of Mikey Duarte, 23, who was recently signed by the White Sox in June and assigned to play for the Great Falls Voyagers. 

Christiana Duarte is also the cousin of former New York Yankee, Brandon Laird, who was playing baseball in Japan at the time of the tragedy.  

Laird will leave for the United States on Wednesday.

Michelle Vo

Michelle Vo hailed from San Jose, California, and worked for New York Life Insurance Company, according to her Facebook.

Kody Robertson told the Columbus Dispatch he had only met Vo, 32, a few hours earlier when they caught each others’ eyes. They danced together for hours, until the shots started. 

He realized she had been hit, but still tried to shield her by jumping on top of her. He went to the hospital to check on her condition, and even delayed his flight to wait for news. But his efforts ended in tragedy. 

One of Vo’s colleagues wrote on Facebook: ‘Michelle Vo was such an inspiration to so many of us here at New York Greater Life Pasadena.

‘Anytime I had a question she would always be there, in the computer lab, on the phone, in the lobby, etc. I’m in shock. You were a true girl boss and will truly be missed. Sending love to everyone, always.’

Susan Smith

Susan Smith, 53, a resident of Simi Valley, California, near Los Angeles, had worked for the local school district since 2001 as the office manager at Vista Elementary School.

‘Susan was wonderful with the kids and the staff and was an integral part of the school community here,’ said Jake Finch, the public information officer for the district. ‘She was the hub of everything that happened at the school. If a kid is sick, she’s the one calling the parents and no matter how chaotic things got here, she was always smiling.’

Finch said the school district learned about Smith’s death from friends who had been with her at the music festival. She said when teachers and other staff members in the district and at the school arrived early Monday morning, most of them had not yet heard that Smith was among those who were killed.

She said counselors were dispatched to the school to talk to both staff members and students and when students were told, they took part in activities such as writing letters and making cards for Smith.

‘It doesn’t sound like much but it gives kids something to latch on to, to make sure they felt like they were able to help in some way,’ she said.

She said Smith was married with two adult children, adding that Smith’s love for country music was well-known.

Jordan Seymour McIldoon

McIldoon was attending the festival with his girlfriend, his parents told CBC, when he was gunned down.

Fellow festival goer Heather Gooze of Spring Valley, Nevada spread word of his death on Facebook.

‘Friends and family, I am OK. I am right outside of the festival grounds. We are not allowed to go anywhere,’ Gooze wrote Monday morning. ‘I am with a young man who died in my arms! RIP Jordan McIldoon from British Columbia. I can’t believe this just happened!!!’

McIldoon’s parents, who are flying down to Las Vegas, said he was a heavy-duty mechanic’s apprentice and was soon to attend trade school.

‘We only had one child,’ they said. ‘We just don’t know what to do.’

His grandfather Bob McIldoon told CityNews Vancouver: ‘It’s a terrible thing, terrible for everyone.’

Neysa Tonks

Mother-of-three, Neysa Tonks, was another victim identified. 

The IT solutions company she worked for, Technologent, that was based in California, started GoFundMe account in order to raise money for her three sons. 

They wrote: ‘This morning, America woke up to the deadliest mass shooting in modern American History, and even now, hundreds of wounded are fighting for their lives in emergency rooms in Las Vegas. 

‘Technologent grieves with Las Vegas and with all the families of those lost to inexplicable and senseless violence. Our hearts and prayers are with those families at this time.

Being part of the Las Vegas community, we want to thank the brave first responders and courageous citizens who came to aid those suffering around them. 

‘Tragedy reveals the worst and the best of humankind. May we all draw hope and strength from their examples and pledge ourselves to appreciate those around us realizing each day is a gift.

‘Technologent lost one of our own, a great mother, colleague and friend, Neysa Tonks. She leaves behind three boys – Kaden, Braxton and Greysen. Neysa has brought so much joy, fun and laughter to Technologent – she will be greatly missed by all!

‘Please join us in keeping her family in our hearts and prayers. The family has asked for privacy during this difficult time.’

Brennan Stewart

Brennan Stewart also went missing in the initial carnage that ensued after the shooting. A woman who he was with posted a picture of the pair of them together on Facebook in a bid to get information on his whereabouts.

But he was later identified as one of those killed. 

A GoFundMe page was set up on his honor.

Colleagues at the company he worked for wrote: ‘The Las Vegas shooting has hit Blue Heron close to home. Our dear friend and co worker has lost her nephew in this senseless tragedy. No parent wants to lose a child, and in this fashion. 

‘It is believed Brennan Stewart died trying to protect his girlfriend. His selfless courage is what everyone hopes to instill in their child. 

‘Unforuntely he paid the ultimate price for that sacrifice. You can only imagine that the family is stunned, and financial burdens should not be something they have to deal with at this time. 

‘No one can prepare for the devastation and we at Blue Heron feel a responsibility to lend a hand when one of our family is in need.’

Quinton Robbins

Quinton Robbins, 20, of Henderson, Nevada, is another shooting victim who was identified by family and friends on social media.

His aunt, Kilee Wells Sanders, confirmed on Facebook that Quinton had died on Sunday night, describing him as ‘the most kind and loving soul.’ ‘Everyone who met him, loved him. His contagious laugh and smile. He was truly an amazing person. He will be missed by so many, he is loved by so many.’

Robbins studied at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, and worked as a recreational assistant at the City of Henderson.

‘Quinton was a pay-it-forward kinda guy,’ Tyce Jones, a long time friend of the family, told Newsweek. ‘Always had a smile on his face and was a nice guy. He loved his family and loved to coach his little brother’s flag football team. He will be missed. 

Angela Gomez

Former Cheerleader Angie Gomez, 20, who graduated from Riverside Polytechnic HS, in California, were also named as victims.

A supporter wrote a touching tribute to Gomez on a GoFundMe page.

‘She was a cheerful young lady with a warm heart and loving spirit. Angie’s life was cut short when she succumbed to injuries sustained in the Las Vegas Route 91 shooting. 

‘This senseless act of violence has rocked our Poly Cheer and Song family. We are establishing this GoFundMe account to assist her family in making burial arrangements and taking care of all the needs they may have in the days and weeks to come. All monies raised here will be given directly to the Gomez family.

‘The scope of this tragedy is worldwide and we are feeling its impact here at home,’ the division’s superintendent, Betty Turpin, said in a statement.

A post on Klymchuk’s Facebook page says she got engaged in April, and was in Vegas with her fiance.

Adrian Murfitt

Commercial fisherman Adrian Murfitt, 35, of Anchorage, Alaska, was also among the slain, a family member said Monday.

His sister, Shannon Gothard, said the family heard from one of Murfitt’s friends who was with him when he died, though they haven’t received official confirmation about his death.

Asked if the family was holding out hope that he made it after all, she said, ‘No. No.’

Gothard described her brother as a man with a hearty laugh and a former competitive hockey player who still dabbled in the game. ‘His whole life was always around hockey,’ she said.

After graduating from high school, he became a fisherman, picking up odd jobs in the offseason.

He had just come off an extremely successful fishing season when he made the trip to Las Vegas with some good friends, Gothard said.

Her brother ‘was happy to pay some things off and had made some really good money and decided to go out and celebrate and go to the concert and treat himself to something nice and fun,’ she said.

Sandy Casey, a middle school special education teacher living in Redondo Beach, California, was killed in Sunday night’s attack, the school district and a relative said.

Casey, 35, is an alumna of the College of St. Joseph in Rutland, Vermont, and Assumption College in Worcester, Massachusetts, said Linda O’Leary, a cousin of Casey’s mother who is acting as a family spokeswoman.

Casey was at the Las Vegas concert with her fiancé and a friend, who were not injured, O’Leary said. Most of Casey’s extended family lives in Vermont, she said.

The family is discussing setting up a scholarship in Casey’s name. 

Austin Davis

Austin Davis went missing amid the chaos that unfolded after the shooting. His family searched for hours and tried to track him down on social media. But their search ended in tragedy.

They wrote on a GoFundMe page: ‘Austin Davis was only 29 years old when the senseless Mass Shooting in Las Vegas at Route 91 Festival took his life. He did not deserve this. 

‘His FAMILY didn’t deserve this. They took off straight to Vegas the moment the heard he was possibly hit and wounded. 

‘Not being able to find him in the chaos, they ended up waiting 20+ hours in the hospital to even know if their son and loved one was alive. 

‘As many of you know through the power of social media they could not find him for hours and hours.’

Disney confirmed that Carrie Barnette, a former employee, was one of the 59 who perished in the shooting. 

She was a Pacifica High School graduate and former cheerleader who worked in the park in Anaheim. 

Walt Disney CEO Robert Iger said in a statement: ‘Our hearts go out to everyone impacted by the tragic events in Las Vegas – the victims of violence, the witnesses, and the friends and families mourning loved ones. 

‘We are especially heartbroken over the loss of one of our own to this unconscionable and senseless act. Carrie Barnette had been a member of the Disney California Adventure culinary team for ten years and was beloved by her friends and colleagues.

Rhonda LeRocque

Rhonda LeRocque, a minister’s wife, from Tewksbury, Massachusetts, had been at the concert with her six-year-old daughter, father-in-law and husband of 20 years, Jason. 

Her father-in-law had just taken LeRocque’s daughter home when the gunfire began.

LeRocque died instantly after being shot in the back of the head. 

Denise Burditus

While the sun was still shining Sunday at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas, Denise Burditus posted a photo on Facebook of herself and her husband standing in front of the stage, smiling broadly.

Later, after news of the massacre spread, a friend asked simply: ‘Are you two ok????’

Burditus never replied.

MetroNews, a West Virginia-based radio network, reported that Tony Burditus wrote on his Facebook page that his wife was among the victims.

‘It saddens me to say that I lost my wife of 32 years, a mother of two, soon to be grandmother of five this evening in the Las Vegas shooting,’ Tony Burditus wrote. ‘Denise passed in my arms. I LOVE YOU BABE.’

Troy Rhett, another friend of Hartfield’s through football, said he knew from social media that Hartfield was attending the Sunday concert. When he heard about the shooting, he texted him, hoping to learn Hartfield was safe. He never heard back, and Rhett said he learned through another friend Monday morning that Hartfield had died.

Fellow victim John Phippen, of Santa Clarita, California, was at the concert with his son Travis – a medic – when he was shot dead.

Travis, who was shot in the arm, was able to patch up at least 14 others at the scene, but tragically wasn’t able to save his own father.

John, who owned remodeling and repair company JP Specialties, in Clarita, was remembered by friends as a ‘good man’ and an ‘amazing soul’ who would often like to sing as he worked.

He had a ‘smile that would light up a room,’ friend Thomas Polucki told KHTS. ‘He will be missed.’ 

His friend and neighbor, Leah Nagyivanyi, set up a GoFundMe page in tribute.

She wrote: ‘If you didn’t know John you surely missed out. He had a heart that was larger than life and a personality to match. 

‘You felt like you knew him for years the first time you met him. He was a simple man who enjoyed the simple things in life and having fun doing them. 

‘He had your back from the moment he met you and by having your back that could mean, having a cold beer in your hand when yours was empty or if you needed help with your car or in our case, your sandrail, your house or you just needed to chill. 

‘Even if you were someone he had never met before but were in need, he was there for you.’

Bailey Schweitzer

Christopher Roybal

Army veteran Roybal served in Afghanistan before he was gunned down during the festival. 

He was at the event celebrating his birthday with his mother, Debby Allen, when he was shot in the chest. The two were separated amid the chaos, ABC 7 reported.

In June, he wrote an ominous Facebook post describing ‘what it is like to be shot at’.  

He wrote: ‘A question people ask because it’s something that less that 1% of our American population will ever experience. Especially one on a daily basis. My response has always been the same, not one filled with a sense of pride or ego, but an answer filled with truth and genuine fear/anger.

*which by the way, go hand in hand*

Depending on my level of intoxication, I respond with nothing short of the truth from first hand experience.

Entering with what our national News channels would report at the time as ‘the deadliest place on earth’ I was excited for my first taste of what real combat would be. What it would be like to be a real gunfighter in the modern day Wild Wild West. My first fight was something I never will forget.

‘Finishing up what was supposed to be a quick 4-hour foot patrol, I remember placing my hand on the Stryker and telling Bella how well she did. Hearing the most distinct sounds of a whip cracking and pinging of metal off of the vehicle I just had my hand resting on is something that most see in movies.

‘I remember that first day, not sure how to feel. It was never fear, to be honest, mass confusion. Sensory overload…followed by the most amount of natural adrenaline that could never be duplicated through a needle. I was excited, angry and manic. Ready to take on what became normal everyday life in the months to follow. Taking on the fight head on, grabbing the figurative ‘Bull by the horns’.

‘Unfortunately, as the fights continue and as they as increase in numbers and violence, that excitement fades and the anger is all that’s left. The anger stays, long after your friends have died, the lives you’ve taken are buried and your boots are placed neatly in a box in some storage unit. Still covered in the dirt you’ve refused to wash off for fear of forgetting the most raw emotions you as a human being will ever feel again.

‘What’s it like to be shot at? It’s a nightmare no amount of drugs, no amount of therapy and no amount of drunk talks with your war veteran buddies will ever be able to escape.

‘Cheers boys.

‘A bigger than life man taken far too soon. Brian was a rock of love and support to his family. He was a father that all four of his kids ADORED and looked up to.
