A North Texas community will come together Saturday to remember 6-year-old Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez, whose disappearance and death touched the hearts of residents across the region.<\/p>\n
The city of Everman will host a public candlelight vigil in Noel’s memory on Saturday, Oct. 24, at 6 p.m. at Clyde Pittman Park, located at 300 Wichita St.<\/p>\n
The gathering comes as Noel’s family prepares for a private funeral.<\/p>\n
Residents attending the vigil are encouraged to wear light blue, Noel’s favorite color, as a tribute to the young boy.<\/p>\n
Noel’s remains were discovered in May, buried on the property where he lived with his mother, Cindy Rodriguez, who has been charged with capital murder.<\/p>\n
Saturday’s vigil will take place near the Noel Angel-Alvarez Playground, an inclusive playground named in his honor by the Everman City Council in 2023.<\/p>\n
The playground was established as a lasting tribute to Noel and a space where children of all abilities can experience the joy of play, friendship and community.<\/p>\n
City officials are inviting the public, first responders, law enforcement partners, community organizations and members of the media to attend the gathering.<\/p>\n
The event will offer an opportunity for those who have followed Noel’s story over the years to remember his life and show support for his family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A North Texas community will come together Saturday to remember 6-year-old Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez, whose disappearance and death touched…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":475703,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[79494,116,118,117],"class_list":["post-475702","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-worth","tag-everman","tag-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth-headlines","tag-fort-worth-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/475702","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=475702"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/475702\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/475703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=475702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=475702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=475702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
