Ron Gonzalez was killed when Continental flight #3407 crashed near Buffalo on February 12, 2009.

Gonzalez, a director of a youth services program based in New Brunswick, N.J., was on his way to visit family in Buffalo, a colleague said.

The Bronx-raised Gonzalez, 44, worked for New Brunswick Tomorrow, a private nonprofit organization that provides family counseling, employment and tutoring services for the city's schools.

Gonzalez, who was flying home to visit family in the Buffalo area, formerly led Alianza Latina, an AIDS/HIV organization focused on Buffalo's Latino community, according to the Buffalo News.

Jeffrey Vega, New Brunswick Tomorrow's president, told The Star-Ledger of Newark, N.J., that Gonzalez worked long hours and was dedicated to helping disadvantaged children and their families.

"He wasn't somebody who had an ego," Vega said. "It wasn't about him, it was all about the children."
