"Diego is a very loved young man. He comes from a very big humble family, who are now torn to pieces. He was the oldest brother to his two sweet sisters, Stephanie, and Sophia. Diego was Maria’s oldest and only son. The only grandson to Fernando and Yolanda Martínez, and a nephew to Jonathan and Will Martinez. He adored his dog, Lily, who was also with him in the car that night," said organizer Kaitlynn Hurtado Rodriguez on the GoFundMe page. "When ever you saw Diego, he always said hello with a big smile. He was a gentle soul and loved to have a good time, and was just starting to live his life. He was truly free spirited and full of happiness."

Bedford police said a 51-year-old in a BMW collided with Trejos, a Pound Ridge resident, on South Bedford Road at 9:20 p.m. Monday. The other driver was taken to Westchester Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.

According to GoFundMe, the wake for Diego will be on 4-8 p.m. Thursday at the Oelker-Cox & Sinatra Funeral Home Inc., 262 E Main St., Mount Kisco, NY 10549. The funeral will be at 10 a.m. Friday at the St. Francis of Asssis Church, 2 Green St. in Mount Kisco.
