Mother of driver involved with the recent crash that claimed the lives of three EHS Class of 2025 grads has posted a sad note announcing his death:

From the Family:

Sadly I do not have the update that any of us wanted.

Our baby boy, Roman Parra, went to be with our Lord and Savior. He fought the hardest battle I have ever seen him fight right up until his last breath. I can only imagine that #8 was running up the middle for his final touch down, directly into open gates and into the best hug of his life.

There is no doubt that my baby is walking with Jesus. Roman sought to know God every single day and was usually found on the couch during lunch with an open Bible in hand. He was an incredible example of kindness to everyone he met. No one was a stranger and just a handshake was never going to cut it-everyone got a hug. He wanted you all to know God and would be so excited to hear how many people opened their Bible and wept on their knees holding strong in their faith. Roman spread love all over the nation this past week and nothing would please him more. He was the twins role model, Breckin’s confidant & protector, Lennon’s dancing partner and his dad and I’s best friend. We will miss his giant, genuine smiles, his warm hugs and his boisterous belly laugh every day, for the rest of our lives.

Please continue to pray for our families and respect us as we grieve the loss of a lifetime.

Please also continue to pray for his friends and their families from Eaton; Cooper, Cash, & Jack who also lost their lives. Pray for sweet Connor who survived and performed CPR on Roman giving us the time to say goodbye.

Job well done baby boy. Job well done.

Cooper Christopher Nider, affectionately known as “Coop,” “Bubba,” and “Turkey,” passed away on Saturday, July 25, 2026, at the age of 19.

Born on May 31, 2007, in Greeley, Colorado, Cooper was the beloved son of Jonathan C. Nider and Megan (Connely) Gollobith. He graduated from Eaton High School and continued his education at Chandler-Gilbert Community College in Chandler, Arizona. While in Arizona, Cooper was a member of Grace Community Church in Tempe.

Cooper embraced life with enthusiasm and had a deep love for the outdoors. Whether he was fishing, hunting, playing golf, lifting weights (or, as he liked to say, "getting jacked"), or spending time with family and friends, he lived each day to the fullest. Most of all, though, Cooper loved being on the field.

From a young age, Cooper was passionate about athletics. He played football, baseball, and wrestled, developing not only his talent but also his strong work ethic and competitive spirit. Throughout his athletic career, he earned numerous individual accolades and was part of six state championship teams at Eaton High School.

Cooper went on to pursue his lifelong dream of playing college baseball, where he continued to thrive as both an athlete and an exceptional young man. His determination, humility, and love for the game left a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. His infectious spirit, kind heart, and unforgettable personality will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

He is survived by his mother, Megan (Austin) Gollobith; his father, Jon (Samantha) Nider; his sisters, Savannah and Charlee Gollobith, and Eastyn Nider; his grandparents, Doug and Jean Connely, Roy and Stacey Gollobith, Rolland and Cindy Nider, and Mark and Billie Charf; his great-grandmothers, Verneta Connely, Judy Gueswel, and Geri Weiss; as well as numerous loving aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family members, and dear friends.

A Celebration of Cooper's Life will be held Wed., Aug 5, 10 a.m. at Eaton High School, 1661 Collins Street in Eaton, at the football field located behind the school.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Cooper’s memory to the Cooper Nider Memorial Account at the Bank of Colorado. The family intends to use the funds to create a scholarship honoring Cooper’s memory.

Cash Allen Rinker, 20, of Eaton, CO, passed away Sat., July 25, 2026.
He was born June 3, 2006, in Greeley, CO, to Corey and Casandra “Cassie” (Isbell) Rinker. He grew up in Eaton alongside his sister, Carlie, and attended Eaton schools. Cash was a dedicated student, athlete, and friend. He embraced life wholeheartedly and cherished his family and friends above all else. Throughout the years, he participated in many sports, including baseball, football, and wrestling.
Baseball was Cash’s greatest passion. He played youth baseball for the Reds for ten years before moving on to Eaton High School, where he was a three-year varsity letterman. He earned Honorable Mention All-Conference honors in 2024 and was named All-Conference and All-State in 2025. His team won three consecutive state championships during his high school career. He also played for the Greeley Grays for six years, making him the longest-tenured player for them. After graduating, Cash attended ASU Mid-South in Arkansas on a partial academic and athletic scholarship. This summer, he played for the Fort Collins Foxes and was looking forward to attending Northeastern Junior College this fall to continue both his education and his baseball career. More than the awards and championships, Cash treasured the friendships, camaraderie, and memories he made alongside his teammates.
Cash also loved wrestling. He participated in the Eaton Wrestling Club for nine years before wrestling for Eaton Middle School for three years, where his team captured the NPCLA Championship. He continued wrestling in high school, earning two varsity letters, and his team also won a state championship during his time there.
Football was another sport Cash thoroughly enjoyed. He began playing youth flag football for three years before moving on to youth tackle football for another four years. He played for Eaton Middle School for two years, where his team also won the NPCLA Championship. During his high school football career, his team captured the 2021 State Championship.
Cash was never one to sit still. When he wasn’t competing in sports, he could be found golfing, fishing, or hunting. He loved spending time with his friends, especially at the lake, where they enjoyed paddleboarding and cliff jumping. He also loved attending concerts and grabbing his favorite lunch at Cheba Hut. Cash genuinely loved staying active, whether he was working out at Powell’s Gym or playing just about any sport he could—as long as it wasn’t soccer or basketball.
He was preceded in death by his grandpa, Claude Rinker; his papa, Bill Isbell; and his uncles, Cory Isbell and Kevin Dutton.
Cash is survived by his loving parents, Corey and Cassie Rinker; his sister, Carlie Rinker; and countless extended family members and friends who will forever cherish his memory.
Cash was full of life, energy, and love. Everything he did, he did with purpose, dedication, and unwavering spirit. His family and friends will forever remember the light, laughter, and love he brought wherever he went. Though his time here was far too short, the impact he made on those around him will never be forgotten. He will be deeply loved, forever remembered, and profoundly missed.
A Celebration of Cash’s Life will be held Wed., Aug. 5 at the Eaton High School football field.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Cash’s memory may be made to the Cash Rinker Memorial Account set up at Bank of Colorado.
