Faces of COVID-19: Buckeye community rallies around teen who lost his father to COVID-19

The Buckeye community got together Thursday to help a high school senior struggling after his father passed away from COVID-19. They held a car wash at the Buckeye Union High School District Learning Center. All donations were given to his family. Daniel Valdez and his father Rodrigo were nearly 50 years apart, but the 18-year-old said they were inseparable. His dad was his best friend. "We'd go on walks or jogs, go camping in the RV. Just me and my dad. We'd do everything together," said Valdez. They loved being outside--working on his dad's truck, riding ATVs or roadtripping. "The weekends now they feel empty, we used to have so many things going on, it's really hard," said Valdez.
