Amigable’s friend described him as a “loving big brother and son” in a GoFundMe set up in his honor. He was driving home from work at the time of the accident, though he reportedly liked to stay home because he felt safer there. “All he did was work, stay home, and spend his time in his room posing his action figures, which was his hobby and he loved doing it.”
After the accident, bystanders were unable to help him because he was pinned in and unable to remove the door, according to his family.
