It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Brother Jesus “Chewy” Lagarda, a 34-year-old Groundman with SOCOM and proud member of IBEW 1245.
Brother Lagarda was killed in a tragic workplace accident in Nevada County on September 2 while working to underground electric lines in the town of Washington. Known for his ever-present smile and his love of fishing, he will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
He leaves behind his wife, Elizabeth, and their three young children.
IBEW 1245 mourns this heartbreaking loss, and we extend our deepest condolences to Brother Lagarda’s family, friends, and union brothers and sisters.
A fundraiser has been created to support his loved ones with funeral expenses and other unforeseen costs. Please give what you can and keep the Lagarda family in your prayers: https://shorturl.at/m2En1
