Hundreds gathered Wednesday night to honor 18-year-old Andrews Cajaraville Gil, a Cape Coral teenager who tragically lost his life in a motorcycle crash Tuesday night.
The crash happened along Santa Barbara Boulevard and Hancock Bridge Parkway.
Gil’s family shared heartfelt memories, describing him as a young man full of aspirations.
They say he was a Cape Coral High School senior and dreamed of joining the U.S. military after graduating. They say he loved traveling, cherished riding his motorcycle, and was deeply devoted to his family.
"We lost a loved one. That will stay for the rest of our lives. It kills us. We can never forget a child; a grandchild is never forgotten," Andrews' grandfather, Andres Gil, said.
Cape Coral Police confirmed that no drugs or alcohol were involved in the crash.
