I believe I met ofcr. Sepulveda in 2013 and I remember his quick wit and whistle even IN A STABBING SCENE, I was a witness and saved the stabbing victim, saved him, called 911, almost pulled my port out of my chest (chemo @ dana farber) and he LOVED my service dogs (Jake- Shepard mix nat'l registered/certified & Tito Taco a chihuahua I rescued, raised & trained myself and us Also A certifies, tested & reg. fed. Service dog. Both assist avoiding allergens and alerting me to a reaction b4 I even know MYSELF. He was the 1st (and ONLY) officer OR civilian to talk to us 4 a while and instantly made me feel safe & that the dogs and I would be okay, to see he was killed by a ran stop sign vehicle is disheartening and I'm sure he is greatly missed by many. Bless the boys in blue! Drive slow& drink water! R.I.P officer Sepulveda, fly with the angels and watch over us better than ever b4! I choose to celebrate that I met this man the way I did, and it seems SO unfair considering many factors. offered us h2o and snacks and called EMS 4 ME. I will never forget this man's name, face, voice, whistle, friendliness even in a traumatic case in the middle if homeless people central where our paths cross
