Hundreds crowded under umbrellas on the Ponderosa High School baseball infield Monday night — the same field where Jordan Behn, 18, had been a star and his family a fixture in the stands — for a candlelight vigil to remember the Douglas County family killed early Sunday in a head-on crash.
"The whole family was amazing," said 18-year-old Zane Knapp, who called the Behns his "second family."
"There's not one person who ever met them that could say one bad word about them," said Knapp, who graduated from Ponderosa High with Jordan this year.
Robert Behn, 45; his wife, Lisa, 48; son Jordan; and daughter Morgan, 15, died at about 5:45 a.m. Sunday, when their vehicle was hit head-on by a wrong-way driver on U.S. 287 near the Texas-Oklahoma border.
They were on their way home from the Connie Mack South Plains Regional baseball tournament in Dallas, where Jordan played on the Denver club team HitStreak.
A memorial for the Behn family is scheduled for Monday, August 9th at 3:00 p.m. at the Parker Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Parker according to a family friend. The address of the church is 9100 East Parker Rd in Parker.
"We're not doing well. It's been a very difficult and hard experience," said Robert's father, the Rev. Robert L. Behn, 72, of Buffalo, N.Y. "They were loved by everyone they knew."
Friends at Monday's vigil described the family as close. Robert Behn would e-mail his co- workers at Arrow Electronics — where he served as vice president of marketing and product management — with updates on his children's baseball or softball games while they were in progress.
Lisa Behn, who worked at a Bath & Body Works store in Park Meadows mall, was a cheerful organizer, they said, whose life revolved around her children and the community where they grew up.
