Jose López, a father of two, had worked in road and bridge repairs for two years and didn’t mind the difficult overnight shifts, his brother Jovani López said.
They helped with what Jovani López said his little brother saw as his purpose in life: providing food and shelter for his family.
Jovani López said his brother was one of six construction workers who died after the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore was struck by a ship and collapsed, plunging Mr. López and several other workers into the Patapsco River.
“He was a great father,” Jovani López, 53, said of his younger sibling, who was in his 30s.
He paused, wiped tears from his eyes, and said: “He was my baby brother.”
