REMEBERING JACOB "JAKE" ARAGON: Special thoughts from his girlfriend Krystal Aguliar

Please MAKE a DONATION to
HELP THE ARAGON FAMILY!

Lakewood Resident Jacob "Jake" Aragon and his longtime girlfriend Krystal Aguilar

During the past couple of weeks, I have received almost 100 emails and notes about the life and passing of Ryan Tiedeman, 18 of Cerritos, and Jacob "Jake" Aragon, 19 of Lakewood. These two great promising young men lost their life in a tragic accident on the 5 Freeway and 605 Interchange a around 2 weeks ago. Since then, their family and close friends are remembering both Jake and Ryan.

A Special Fund has been set up in Jake's memory to help his family with expenses, and I want everyone to make a donation. (Below is a copy of the flyer, and how WE can all help the Aragon Family).

Krystal and Jake: Remembering special times!

Jake had a beautiful longtime girlfriend, Krystal Vasquez. They were literally "childhood" sweethearts since they were both 15 years old growing up here in our community.

Krystal wanted me to share some of these special memories about Jake and Ryan, and tonight we all continue to remember the lives of these two special people.

Dear Randy:
I'm the girlfriend of Jacob Aragon and a close friend to Ryan Tiedeman.

You've written some blogs about their accident. My mother and sister have been in contact with you and asked me to you some pictures of both Jake and Ryan, or "T" as we all called him.

Jacob and I have been together for almost 4 years. We met when we were both 16. He started hanging out with Ryan T and all the "45" boys last summer. Jake & I went to Ryan's senior prom, and since then, the two have been inseparable.

Jacob was attending Wyotech to become an electrician, and would have completed the course in June.

He was so proud that he was going to be a working man making good money at the age of 19. Jake had the biggest heart of anyone that i know. He never wanted anyone to be sad.

If there was anything he could do to cheer you up, he would do it.

Jacob was one of 6 children. He has one older brother and four sisters, three older and one younger. I wanted to thank you for covering their story on your website.

Jacob and Ryan touched alot of people. They were both beautiful people and will truly be missed.
Love,
Krystal Aguliar

The Aragon Family and close friends gather to remember their beloved Jake after his Services at Rose Hills in Whittier last week.

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
