Weld County Chief Deputy Coroner Jolene Weiner confirmed all six were Hispanic males, four of them belonging to an extended family.

Alejandro Espinoza Cruz, 50, of Nunn, was among the victims. His two sons, 17-year-old Oscar Espinoza Leos and 29-year-old Carlos Espinoza Prado, also died.

Another family member, 36-year-old Jorge Sanchez Pena of Greeley, perished in the incident. He was related to the Espinozas by marriage.

The remaining two victims were Ricardo Gomez Galvan, 40, and Noe Montanez Casanas, 32, both residents of Keenesburg.

Project Protect Food System Workers said the Espinozas and Pena often repaired machinery at dairies around Keenesburg.

The farm remains under investigation while authorities await toxicology results.

Community members described the victims as dedicated workers who were tightly connected to their families.

The loss has left a ripple of grief through rural areas around Keenesburg.

Support networks and neighbors continue to organize events to aid the families financially.
