Eight years later, Borderline victims remembered

Voiced memories and reflections mingled with the quiet activity around the Conejo Creek Park North Lakeside Pavilion Nov. 7 as friends and family honored those who were lost at the 2018 Borderline Bar and Grill shooting. Ducks on the nearby pond paddled past the 12 water jets dedicated to those lost, while a child hopped from rock to rock nearby. It was an ordinary scene unfolding alongside remembrance of an extraordinary loss—and an unintended reminder of a message shared by speakers at the eighth anniversary memorial: Life goes on, and what we do with it matters. About 100 people gathered at Conejo Creek Park North to remember the 12 people killed in the Nov. 7, 2018 mass shooting in Thousand Oaks. A dozen candles, each placed beside a single rose, were lit as the names of the victims—Sean Adler, Cody Coffman, Blake Dingman, Jake Dunham, Alaina Housley, Daniel Manrique, Justin Meek, Mark Meza, Kristina Morisette, Telemachus Orfanos, Noel Sparks and Ventura County Sheriff ’s Sgt.
