Lara had trained for months for the marathon. His wife said he had no underlying medical conditions and was an avid runner. She told KPTV that his death came as a shock because he was healthy.

Lara was taken to hospital but doctors told his wife it was too late. He was a youth pastor and had recently helped open a youth camp called Camp Genesis. His wife described him as someone who loved his family and friends, and said the support of those around them was helping her through her grief.
