Fernando 'Jesus' Chavez-Barron, 16, of Chesapeake

Chavez-Barron was an honors student in the 11th grade who had just begun driving and had taken a part-time job to help out his family, according to friends and a GoFundMe page set up for the family. The page´s organizer, Tamara Nelson, confirmed by phone that the page was authentic, but she declined to comment further.

'An outstanding son and excellent big brother, he loved building with Legos,' the GoFundMe page states. 'He will always be remembered as humble, loving, responsible and hardworking young man. His loss is felt, not only by his family, but by so many others in his community.'

Family friend Rosy Perez told The New York Times that the teen worked the overnight shift at Walmart to assist his family.

'He wanted to help a little bit,' Perez said. 'He was a very good child.'

Kellie Pyle, 52, of Chesapeake

Pyle grew up in Norfolk, Virginia, and moved back to the Hampton Roads region from Kentucky after reconnecting with her high school sweetheart on Facebook.

She and Brian Baker planned to marry next year.

'I´ve never seen her this happy, except when she talked about her children,' said a cousin, William Pillar-Gibson.

'This was not just a new chapter for her - it was the best chapter,' Pillar-Gibson. 'She was a grandmother. Her children were thriving. She was with the love of her life. She was back home.'

Pyle had two adult children in their 20s and a young granddaughter who was 'the light of Kellie´s life,' her cousin said.

Pyle had been the caregiver for her parents when their health failed and for her brother when he had a stroke.

'She handled everything,' Pillar-Gibson said. 'When something needed to be done, she did it. And she experienced a lot of loss.'

Recently, Pyle was extending her generosity and caregiving to the mother of her fiance, Gwendolyn Bowe Baker Spencer.

In a brief statement Spencer said: 'We love her ... She was an awesome, kind individual - yes she was.'

Brian Pendleton, 38, of Chesapeake

Pendleton made sure to be punctual. Although his shift as a custodian started at 10:30 p.m., he was in the break room when the shooting started just after 10, according to his mother, Michelle Johnson.

'He always came to work early so he would be on time for work,' she said. 'He liked his coworkers.'

Pendleton had recently celebrated his 10-year anniversary working at the store.

His mother said he didn´t have any problems at work, except with a supervisor, Andre Bing, who was identified as the gunman.

'He just didn´t like my son,' Johnson said. 'He would tell me that he (Bing) would give him a hard time.'

Pendleton was born with a congenital brain disorder and grew up in Chesapeake, his mother said.
