The Clark County coroner’s office has identified a Las Vegas man killed in a motorcycle accident Saturday afternoon.

Yariel Penalver, 28, died after his 2016 Yamaha R6 motorcycle crashed into a garage at 3291 S. Heritage Way near McLeod Drive and Karen Avenue.

According to Penalver’s Facebook page, he worked as a lead operator at the Slotzilla zip line and is survived by his wife, Mily Abarca and a son.

Friends and family held a candlelight vigil on Sunday night near where he died. A GoFundMe page has been created to help his wife cover funeral expenses.

“He was a wonderful person great father and husband and loved by many,” the page reads. “Ride in Paradise big brother.”
