(Ranger Peterson) Friends and family pay tribute to Aaron Navarro at a fundraiser softball tournament on Sept. 10, 2021, less than a week after Navarro died from COVID-19 in St. George. Navarro and Nathan Spendlove, left, have long been instrumental in addiction recovery support groups and sports leagues in southwest Utah. Navarro's daughters, Dallas and Saleena Navarro, center and right, wear their father's jersey in his honor. The dates on the shirts signify a sobriety "birthday," or the date when recovery began.
