Beattie shared with the crowd that Lucian had a special relationship with his grandpa, who passed away not too long ago.
He said there’s a kind of peace for family in knowing that after all the time they spent searching, they found Lucian on Dec. 29 — his grandpa’s birthday.

That’s why Yakima’s Stone Church was packed Saturday with people wanting to honor Lucian’s memory, say goodbye and express their condolences to his family.
