Coco Peru’s tribute to Edward Sotomayor who was among the 50 murdered in Orlando gay club

Facebook post from Coco Peru tonight: Rest in Peace Edward Sotomayor. He was a kind, thoughtful, sweet man, and a hard worker. I had the pleasure to work with him this year and then, by chance, I ran into him at the Orlando Gay Days Expo last Friday. I knew it was him from behind as soon as I saw the top hat he was famously known to wear. Eddie again had such kind words to share with me and we said goodbye like we all say goodbye; trusting that we would see each other again. My heart goes out to everyone at ALandCHUCK.travel, to all those that knew Eddie, and to all of the people that have lost a loved one in this senseless tragedy.

In addition to Edward, who was just 34, here are names of six others who lost their young lives today:

Stanley Almodovar III, 23 years old
Luis Omar Ocasio-Capo, 20 years old
Juan Ramon Guerrero, 22 years old
Eric Ivan Ortiz-Rivera, 36 years old
Peter O. Gonzalez-Cruz, 22 years old
Luis S. Vielma, 22 years old
