Marcelo Bengoechea says his brother Fernando "was just the most wonderful person you could probably meet."

"And I just want people to know that his life meant so much for so many people that it's a pleasure to have been part of his life and I'll for sure continue his life through mine and my wife and kids and Nate and all of his friends...I'm sorry, I have no words...It's very hard."

Oprah says, "I want to keep saying [Fernando's] name out loud because I think it's important for everybody who's lost their life for their life to be more than that moment of death. And his work and his art will live on for everybody who he filmed; for everybody whose life he touched. But we get to see him through his work forever."
