The Humboldt State community gathered last Thursday to celebrate the life of 19-year-old student David Josiah Lawson, who was killed on Saturday, April 15. The Kate Buchanan Room was overflowing, with many people standing and others listening on speakers just outside.

Family members, members of Brothers United, and others who knew Josiah spoke about him as a caring and charismatic person. “I’m sad and I’m heartbroken but I know that the last two years that he was here, he was loved. And I see it from everyone that’s here,” said his mother, Michelle-Charmaine Lawson.
Photos from the Celebration of Life are here. More information and updates are here.
