Community holds memorial for man hit and killed in Centennial

Garth Donato was described as 'the head of the community' in Centennial.

CENTENNIAL, Colorado — Customers at the Starbucks at Arapahoe Road and Nome Street in Centennial would stop in not only for coffee, but for conversation. Regulars knew that every day, they would find a friendly face in Garth Donato.

"The one thing that was repeated over and over and over again, was how big of a heart he had. How humble he was," Rink said."He would put a smile on your face even if you didn’t know him." "It’s been harder than we imagined. It was so unexpected," Alex Demopoulos said."It’s like we’ve lost the head of the community. It’s a tough adjustment."

Community members said they had no idea how many people Donato touched throughout his lifetime. Rose received around 60 calls the day the crash happened, as people started to learn.
