Cameron, TX - Cameron is still mourning Rick Joseph Fuentes, and one local restaurant is turning that grief into help for his family.
Fuentes, 26, of Cameron, was a volunteer firefighter with the Buckholts Volunteer Fire Department and a science teacher and coach at Lamar Middle School in Temple. A C.H. Yoe High School graduate (Class of 2018) and Texas A&M graduate (Class of 2023), he died Sunday, October 11, when the fire truck he was driving overturned on FM 437 while responding to a grass fire near Holland. Funeral services were held Saturday, October 17, at St. Monica's Catholic Church in Cameron.
1846 Grill, at 105 E. Main St. in Cameron, has announced a raffle to benefit the Fuentes family, with all proceeds going to the family. In its announcement, the restaurant called Fuentes "a true hero, in uniform, and as an educator."
Through the rest of October, the restaurant is raffling three $50 gift cards. Raffle tickets are $5 each and are being sold at 1846 Grill, and every ticket stays eligible for all three drawings. The three winners will be drawn on November 1, and the winners will be announced on the 1846 Grill Facebook page.
