Jul. 29—As part of an ongoing effort to honor and remember former Broomfield High School student Dominic DePalma, family members and loved ones will gather Sunday to dedicate a memorial bench in his honor at Country Estates Park in Broomfield.

DePalma was killed in a car crash at the intersection of U.S. 287 and Dillon Road in Lafayette in July 2022, when the car, containing four other juveniles, collided with a tractor-trailer.

Since his death, DePalma has been remembered as a kind-hearted young man who always made his friends laugh and loved to play soccer and video games. Various events have been held in Broomfield to honor his memory, including a candlelight vigil last July and a celebration in January on what would have been his 18th birthday.

On Sunday, just days after the one-year anniversary of his death, the community will gather in his honor once again from 2-4 p.m.. Community members are encouraged to join to celebrate DePalma's life.
