“And I call his phone — no answer. His work phone was cut off. I was hoping, you know, he was just one of the injured. He was not,” Megia said.

Paul was born in the Philippines and emigrated to the U.S. as a toddler. The 42-year-old started his VTA career as a bus operator trainee, eventually working his way up to assistant superintendent.

“He tried his best to make his family live the American dream. He’s a good son, you know. He does the right thing, you know? You can’t say anything bad about him. I’m gonna miss him,” Leonard Megia said.

Paul Megia is survived by his three children, Nate, Gavin and Avery and his wife Nicole, who released this statement:
