The community in Centennial, Colorado is mourning the death of 62-year-old Garth Donato, who was killed in a crash Monday.
Just inside the entrance to a Starbucks store off Arapahoe Road and Holly Street, a brown leather chair is overflowing with flowers, cards, and teddy bears. The memorial is one of at least three scattered across the Arapahoe Marketplace Shopping Center, where 62-year-old Garth Donato was a familiar face.
Another memorial near the site of his death takes the form of a shopping cart, reminiscent of the one Donato used to push around, now brimming with mementos honoring his memory."It's an empty feeling to not see Garth in the morning. We all expected to see him Monday morning, and he was gone," said Jerry Lips, who remembered seeing Donato almost every morning while he grabbed coffee.
