On behalf of the City Council, City Staff and the entire #RCcommunity, we send our sincerest condolences to Lance Cpl. Merola’s family and friends. Dylan, a 2019 graduate of Los Osos High School was known to his family and friends for being kind, caring and always with a smile.
The City of Rancho Cucamonga plans to honor and remember Lance Cpl. Merola at a future City Council meeting and plans to proudly display an Armed Forces banner in his name, embellished with the gold star, reserved for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our Nation.
The City of Rancho Cucamonga respectfully salutes the 13 fallen service members, and our thoughts and prayers are with their families during this difficult time.
