"Gone from our sites [sic], but never from our hearts," wrote her family. "It is with profound sadness we lay to rest our beloved Brianna Rodriguez.

His brother-in-law Sergio Gonzalez told People magazine all about his beloved family member.

"Of his 5 siblings, he was the most calm. He worked as a medical assistant at a rehab clinic. He played football in high school. He was always hanging out with his friends. He was the youngest of 5 siblings. He was the calmest, the most playful, he was the sweetest with everyone," Gonzalez shared. Franco Patino, 21, has also been identified as a victim. His older brother Julio Patino, Jr. told the outlet that Franco was always looking out for others.

"My little brother, he had such a big heart. He's always going above and beyond and helping others," said Julio. "He was an organ donor. He wanted to help as many people as he could, and he did that to the very end." In a statement shared Saturday on Twitter, Scott said he was "absolutely devastated" by the events that occurred at Astroworld. Later on Instagram, he told fans that he is "working right now to identify the families to assist them through this tough time."
