Twin Falls, Idaho – Three Victims who have been identified were shot and killed in the Idaho Mass Shooting at the In-N-Out Burger Restaurant on Saturday, August 1:
Ashley Garibay, 23, from Stockton, California.
Dale Schultz, 66, from Salt Lake City, Utah.
Christopher Claunch, 59, from Hagerman, Idaho
The families identified them, especially one of them, who was described as someone who "lit up a room with her bright smile", and another who went sober after overcoming the death of his newlywed wife.
Ashley Garibay
Ashley Garibay worked as an In-N-Out Burger Associate in California. She traveled to Twin Falls to support Trainers at the Food Chain’s brand-new restaurant.
“We are heartbroken and devastated by the loss of Ashley – a devoted daughter, sister, auntie, cousin and friend – whose life was taken from us far too soon," said Garibay's family.
Family members reported that the 23-year-old's first job was working at an In-N-Out Burger restaurant in Stockton, California, and “fell in love with it.”
“She proudly traveled to open new stores, and her dream was to one day manage an In-N-Out store. She was passionate about serving Customers and left this world doing what she loved to do,” said Garibay’s family.
“Ashley was an amazing, beautiful soul who loved living life,” said Garibay’s Family. “She was adventurous, outgoing, smart and driven, never letting obstacles get in her way. She lit up a room with her bright smile and a laugh that was contagious. She was a friend to all, and no matter what difficulties she was facing, she always found a way to help others find the light in the darkness.”
Christopher Claunch
A California native, 59-year-old Christopher Claunch was head over heels with Idaho and made a decision to move there three decades ago, according to his sister, Kimberly Castaneda. He used to work at the Renaissance Ranch Recovery Center in Rupert, Idaho. He went sober for two years after battling with alcoholism.
According to ABC News, Clautch’s sister explained on The New York Times, “that her brother's first wife died in a car crash just three months after they were married and that ‘he had always hurt from that loss.’ After moving to Idaho 30 years ago, Claunch met his partner of 25 years, Teresa Sperry, whom he shared a home with.”
Claunch enjoys cooking, traveling, and spending time in nature.
A Family Member of Dale Schultz explained the 66-year-old as a hard-working, down-to-earth human being. They also described him as “the model father and grandfather and husband.” His wife was injured during the shooting. They were together as high school sweethearts and created a life together for almost five decades in marriage. They have three children together.
