Jun. 10–GRAND PRAIRIE — Mike Alfaro, a handyman who helped anyone who needed it, started riding bicycles four years ago. And since then, it has been “his main thing,” a close friend said Tuesday.
“I don’t have another friend like him, and I don’t know if I ever will,” said Jeff Delavega, whose friend was one of two killed Sunday morning in a car crash near Joe Pool Lake in Grand Prairie.
More than 150 family, friends and bicycle riders honored Alfaro, 36, and Meredith Hatch, 38, both of Mansfield, at the Ride of Silence, on Tuesday at the Oasis on Joe Pool Lake.
Grand Prairie police arrested Kenneth Bain Sunday on two counts of intoxication manslaughter in connection with the accident. Police said they suspect that he was drunk when his Lincoln Navigator sport utility vehicle struck Hatch and Alfaro from behind.
