In Loving Memory of Julio Nave-Giron
The Las Vegas community is mourning the tragic loss of Julio Nave-Giron, a beloved husband, father, and son, whose life was cut short in a devastating crash last weekend. Julio, 46, passed away at the scene after a suspected drunk driver collided with his vehicle at St. Louis and 6th Street in downtown Las Vegas on Saturday, Dec. 6.
According to police reports, the driver responsible, 41-year-old Rogelio Camacho, was traveling at speeds exceeding 100 mph and failed to stop at a posted 4-way stop sign. Authorities noted an open can of alcoholic Smirnoff in Camacho’s vehicle, raising further concern about reckless and dangerous behavior on the roads. Camacho, who sustained injuries in the crash, was arrested on DUI charges, though field sobriety tests were not administered due to his condition.
Julio Nave-Giron was more than just a victim of this tragedy—he was a remarkable man whose kindness, generosity, and devotion left an indelible mark on everyone who knew him. His wife, Sarita Moreno, described him as “a very loving father, devoted son, devoted husband. He loved everybody. He would do anything for anybody. He’d take the shirt off his back if he had to.” These words paint a vivid picture of a man whose life was defined by compassion and selflessness, someone who brought warmth and light into the lives of his family and community.
In the days following his death, loved ones have gathered at a memorial near the scene of the crash, honoring Julio’s memory and reflecting on the impact he had on their lives. The grief and sorrow are palpable, yet his family and friends are channeling their pain into advocacy, calling for stronger laws and harsher penalties for dangerous driving to prevent other families from enduring a similar loss.
