Victim of a fiery bus crash on a Northern California Highway

BUS CRASH HEROISM, STUDENT SAVES OTHERS ...

Ismael Jimenez, 18, an Animo Inglewood Charter High School student, broke open a window at the front of the bus as it filled with smoke and lifted students to safety. He later died.

"Ismael will be remembered as someone who forever affected the lives of young people he barely knew. He was indeed a hero," said Marco Petruzzi, CEO of Green Dot Public Schools, in a statement.

Jimenez was a honor student who was passionate about art, constantly drawing and painting, his sister said. Even though he was younger, she could often depend on him like he was an older brother, she said through tearsย Saturday.

"His love for art was amazing, that's all he did," his sister said. She recounted how he always made drawings for everyone in his life โ€” horses for his mother, who treasures them, and as gifts for his girlfriend of nearly three years. She said he was "beyond excited" about moving on to college and pursuing a career involvingย art.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,

I am not there; I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,

I am the diamond glints on snow,

I am the sun on ripened grain,

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circling flight.

I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,

I am not there; I did not die.



{{{Rest in Peace Ismael}}}
