My condolences to all the friends and families involved.


I am curious if Michael Okerblom was one of *the* Okerbloms (of Santa Maria); the family already suffered from the loss of Eric back when (the texting while driving PSA’s that used to play?).


Can anyone confirm if, in fact, Michael is related to the Santa Maria Okerbloms (Bob and Eilene)?


Michael Okerblom’s parents are Dr. William Okerblom and Maria Patricia Duron.


Thank you for the clarification. It seems such a unique name, and such horrible circumstances, I was afraid to ask; as evident by “dislikes” of my question, apparently.


Still, my condolences for all the families involved.
