Trust fund established for children of Councilmember Michael Chavez
Mayor Mark Peterson announced today that friends of Concord City Councilmember Michael Chavez, who passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, Aug. 4, have set up a trust fund to benefit his son, Austin, and his daughter, Dallas.
“There has been a great outpouring of sympathy for Michael’s family. Our hearts go out to them and our thoughts and prayers are with them. Expressions of sympathy may now be directed to the newly created trust fund, established in his memory,” said Peterson.
Chavez, a 27-year Concord resident and business owner, was elected to the City Council in November 2006. His wife, Vikki, will continue to operate Charisma Salon in Concord, the business they co-founded in 1979.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Chavez Memorial Trust Fund, Mechanics Bank, 1170 Concord Ave., Suite 160, Concord CA 94520.
Memorial services are pending.
