Stong “was\u00a0a kind soul with a funny sense of humor and unique interests,” wrote the page’s organizer, James Noland.\u00a0<\/p>\n “He did nothing wrong and deserved this in no way at all,” Noland wrote on the GoFundMe page. “He made no choice that led to this. He simply showed up to work, and was in the wrong place at the wrong time.”<\/p>\n Stong was training to become a pilot, often building model planes and taking part in the\u00a0Boulder Aeromodeling Society.<\/p>\n \u201cWe at the club are shocked and deeply saddened to learn of his passing as well as all of the innocent individuals who perished yesterday. It\u2019s shocking to see events like this so close to home,”\u00a0Boulder Aeromodeling Society President Aidan Sesnic told KDVR-TV.<\/p>\n Stanisic’s parents came to the U.S. as refugees in the 1990s, the Rev. Radovan Petrovic of\u00a0Saint John the Baptist Serbian Orthodox Church told the Denver Post. He was born in the United States and graduated from\u00a0Alameda International Jr.\/Sr. High, the Post reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cHis family fled the war in the former Yugoslavia and everything they had was either left behind or destroyed,\u201d Petrovic\u00a0told the Post. \u201cThey left everything to save their lives, and came here to have a new start.\u201d<\/p>\n Petrovic’s wife,\u00a0Ivana Petrovic, called Stanisic an “amazing child” in an interview with the Post.<\/p>\n ‘It was just terror’: <\/strong>Survivors recount rampage in the aisles at Boulder, Colorado supermarket<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve known the family ever since we became their spiritual father and mother here,” she told the newspaper.\u00a0“He was a very good, shy, hardworking boy and one of those kiddos who listened to his parents the best.\u201d<\/p>\n Petrovic told the New York Times that\u00a0Stanisic worked with his father repairing coffee machines throughout the Denver area.\u00a0Stanisic had just finished on a machine at a Starbucks inside the supermarket and was already in the parking lot when he was shot Monday,\u00a0Petrovic told the Times.<\/p>\n \u201cI was thinking, he missed a few seconds to leave earlier and he\u2019d probably be alive,\u201d Petrovic told KDVR-TV.<\/p>\n Olds worked at\u00a0King Soopers and\u00a0was a former member of the union that represents grocery workers,\u00a0UFCW Local 7 said in a statement.<\/p>\n Tanice Cisneros, 26, said she and Olds, a 2013 graduate of Centaurus High School, remembered meeting in 4th grade, but there are photos of them together from when they were even younger.<\/p>\n Cisneros said the pair and a few other friends formed a group of “outcasts” with Olds as their glue. “We were the weird ones. We were the loud ones. But we always had a lot of fun,” Cisneros said.<\/p>\n “She always made sure that anybody around her was smiling and laughing,” Cisernos said.<\/p>\n Olds lived most of her life in Lafayette, Colorado, with her grandparents, though she bounced around a few times in Boulder County. Cisernos said her friend just kept coming back to their town. “She loved it here.”<\/p>\n Columbine, Aurora and now Boulder: <\/strong>Colorado has the sixth-highest rate of public mass killings<\/span><\/p>\n Olds and her grandfather\u00a0shared a special relationship, so that made it all the harder when he died the day after her 18th birthday, Cisernos said.<\/p>\n During her free time, Olds enjoyed hiking and being with friends. When the group graduated high school and some moved away, Olds kept in touch with everyone, Cisernos said.<\/p>\n Her work at the grocery store also fit her personality, Cisernos added. “She loved interacting with people. She’s a very outgoing person.”<\/p>\n Katie Dilley, who went to high school with Olds, said\u00a0she\u00a0remembered “her smile and her laugh.” Dilley said they weren’t close, but Olds had a tight-knit group of friends in their small high school.<\/p>\n A week before they graduated in 2013, Dilley said another student at their school<\/span>planted a pipe bomb, prompting an evacuation.<\/p>\n No one was killed in the incident, but Dilley said it sparked fear throughout the class. “What I’ve been reflecting on is that fact \u2026 if you survive one incident, you might not survive the next,” she said. “It’s just so normal now.”<\/p>\n JD Mangat, a city council member in\u00a0Lafayette, said he also went to high school with Olds and was neighbors with her and her family. Mangat said he and other officials in\u00a0Lafayette were discussing how to honor Olds\u00a0with a memorial in the town.<\/p>\n Bartkowiak, who went by Lonna, owned an arts store in Boulder with her sister, called Umba, which is Balinese for \u201csisters.\u201d<\/p>\n Michael Bartkowiak, her brother, told the New York Times she was the oldest of four siblings. He told the Times his sister was\u00a0\u201can amazing person, just a beam of light.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cShe rented a house outside Boulder and lived there with her little Chihuahua, Opal,” Michael Bartkowiak told the Times.\u00a0“She had just gotten engaged. She was, you know, organic \u2013\u00a0stir fries, salads \u2013\u00a0she was always trying to be healthier.\u201d<\/p>\n Bartkowiak\u00a0said his sister often attended festivals such as\u00a0Burning Man and loved interacting with festivalgoers there. “Her people,” he told the Times. “She would always say that. ‘I love my people.'”<\/p>\n Fountain was an award-winning local theater actor, according to The Gazette.
