TEMECULA - Hundreds of friends, family members and players from local baseball and football leagues, many of whom dressed up in full uniform, gathered this past Monday evening for a candlelight vigil at Ronald Reagan Sports Park in Temecula for 11-year-old Anthony Fowler, who passed away almost 2 weeks after a dirt tunnel collapsed on top of him.
On February 4, Anthony Fowler and best friend Tyler Brown were digging tunnels on the side of a dry river bed located near Long Canyon Creek Park, when one of the tunnels collapsed burying both boys.
Brown struggled to get out and immediately went to rescue his friend who was still buried. Tyler dug out Fowler’s head, while two adults helped pull off large rocks. Anthony Fowler was rushed to a local hospital and then on to Rady Children’s hospital in San Diego where he stayed in critical condition up until the moment he passed away on February 16th. His heart stopped while surgeons were removing his organs that the family decided were to be donated once the doctors had delivered the tragic news that Anthony would never gain his brain function back after the accident.
