A series of three vigils were held around Oregon on Saturday in memory of Sebastian Francisco Perez, a 38-year-old farm worker who died during a June heat wave that brought temperatures above 115 in the Willamette Valley.
Perez had been moving irrigation lines at Ernst Farms and Nursery in St. Paul when workers noticed he was missing. They found him unconscious and couldn’t revive him.
Vigils were organized in Hermiston, St. Paul and Portland, outside the honorary Guatemalan Consulate.
At the vigil in Portland, scores of people chanted his name and called for Oregon’s occupational safety agency, OSHA, to adopt emergency rules to deal with the heat.
