Genaro Bedoy's friends describe him as a generous, giving man who was always happy.
Bedoy was killed while serving in Afghanistan, his best friend Garrett Dorman said.
"He was a great guy," he said. "He was one of the best guys you could ever meet. He was a great friend."
He leaves behind his wife of less than a year along with a 7-week-old baby.
Bedoy, just 20 years old, graduated from River Road High School in 2010. He was a U.S. Army soldier, part of the Charlie Troop, 1st Squadron, 1st-14th Cavalry, 3rd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, Stryker Brigade Combat Team.
Friends of Bedoy are planning a fundraiser on Friday night at the River Road Homecoming game. Proceeds go directly to Bedoy's family. A balloon release in his honor is also being planned.
A Facebook page was also created to honor Bedoy. The number of likes climbed by more than 2,000 in just one day.
