The grieving family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan sought to honor her memory in a special manner following her tragic demise during the Kansas City Chiefs parade, originally intended to be a celebratory event.

In a heartwarming gesture, Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker stepped forward to assist the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a mother of two who lost her life in a fatal shooting amid a dispute at the team’s Super Bowl parade.

A now-removed plea was circulated on X, appealing for assistance in locating a white Chiefs jersey bearing Butker’s name, the very jersey Lisa had worn during the parade, as the family wished to lay her to rest in it as a tribute.

“#ChiefsKingdom I need your help… the son of Lisa Lopez-Galvan wants his mom to be put to rest in a white @buttkicker7 jersey .. the same she wore the day of the parade,” the tweet read. “We can’t find them anywhere … anyone have any idea where we can look?”
According to the Kansas City Star, a representative of Fanatics as well as a friend of the team’s chaplain, Father Richard Rocha, both saw the request.

Butker released a statement Tuesday and said he would provide the family with an additional jersey for Lopez-Galvan to be laid to rest in.
“My wife Isabelle and I are heartbroken by the murder of Lisa due to degenerate violence,” Butker said in a statement Tuesday. “Murder is a sin that cries out to God for vengeance and I pray the men involved in this tragedy will be brought to justice. Hearing that she was a fan of my outspokenness for our shared Catholic Faith makes this even more personal. I am honored to provide a jersey to the family for her to wear. While the family is mourning their loss and grappling with their numerous injuries, I will continue to pray for their healing and the repose of Lisa’s soul.”

During the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LVIII victory over the San Francisco 49ers, Butker achieved a milestone by completing the longest field goal in Super Bowl history with a 57-yard attempt.

A GoFundMe campaign was initiated for the Lopez-Galvan family and has garnered over $379,000 in donations since its inception last week.

Following the event, Dominic Miller and Lyndell Mays have both been charged with second-degree murder, two counts of armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon.

Reports indicate that gunfire erupted due to a confrontation sparked by someone’s gaze, leading to a verbal altercation at the parade that escalated rapidly, resulting in the individuals involved brandishing firearms.

Additionally, two unidentified juveniles have been charged with gun possession and resisting arrest for their alleged involvement in the mass shooting, which left 23 people injured.
