Family and friends held a paddle out in honor of a 12-year-old hit and killed by a truck while riding his bike to school last Thursday.
Hundreds gathered in Oceanside Sunday to celebrate the life of Logan Lipton, a boy who loved the water.
"He surfed, he was loved by everybody," family friend Bruce Benedict said. "We're rattled to the core."
Lipton was hit around 7 a.m. Thursday morning by a truck pulling out of a driveway. He was transported to Tri-City Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
Logan's family used to be neighbors with Junior Seau, who gave Logan a football just two weeks before the Chargers player's death. Every Sunday, Logan would hold the football as he watched the Chargers game with family and friends, Benedict told NBC7.
A GoFundMe page has been set up for Logan’s family to help with expenses.
