A quickly organized vigil was hosted Monday night at the Escalon Youth Center, with members of the Class of 2011 from Escalon High School gathering to share memories of classmate Josue Sanchez, 23, who drowned in the Stanislaus River near Knights Ferry. Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Department officials indicated Tuesday morning that they are awaiting DNA test results before officially releasing the identity of the victim pulled from the water on June 14 but family members on hand at Monday night’s vigil said a funeral service and burial are scheduled for Sanchez. An EHS graduate, he was living in Stockton but worked locally as a milker at a dairy in Escalon.
