"My heart aches for her parents, sister, grandparents, aunt and uncle. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to have watched Becka grow up. She had just started a new job and college classes. This isn't how life is supposed to work and I am struggling to wrap my mind around the entire situation," Crawford wrote.

Kim Saltmarsh Dietz, 59, was reportedly a caretaker at Pyrenees Vineyard & Cellars and attended UCC with her daughter.

"Lucas loved FFA, volunteering at Wildlife Safari and Saving Grace animal shelter. He was an amazing soccer player." 

Sarena Dawn Moore had a passion for all creatures great and small, as her posts to social media showed her love for animals including dogs and horses.

"The shooter is gone and we don't' have to wait for trials and everything else," Goin continued.

Moore was a Seventh-day Adventist who attended church in Grants Pass and listed the church as her employer. 

"It's been reported that one of Sarena's last posts on Facebook was an affirmation of her desire to stand up for Jesus and Christianity," the church posted on Facebook. "We urge all Northwest members to pray specifically for the Grants Pass Church and Sarena's extended family as well as our Roseburg area churches."
