The massacre in Las Vegas killed 58 people and wounded 489 who were crowded together into one field, but those deaths have been felt across the entire continent.

The Clark County Coroner released the names of all 58 victims on Thursday. The list includes people from California to Massachusetts to the provinces of Canada.

They range in age from 20 to 67. They were mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, grandparents and grandchildren.

They worked in hospitals, police stations, schools, day cares, restaurants and fishing boats. They were at the Route 91 Harvest festival to celebrate birthdays, wedding anniversaries and a shared love of music.

Here are all the victims of Sunday's shooting:

Hannah Ahlers

Age: 34

City: Beaumont, Calif.

The mother of three young children was with her husband of 17 years when she was killed during the shootout.

Her father-in-law, Dave Ahlers, said she was a stay-at-home mom who dedicated herself to her children and her family.

“She was beautiful inside and out, and loved life and people,” her brother, Lance Miller, told the Redlands Daily Facts. “She was our sunshine.”

People in her community were organizing a car wash to raise money for her family, and others started an online fundraiser to help.

Heather Alvarado

Age: 35

City: Cedar City, Utah

When news spread that a shooting was underway at the music festival, the Cedar City (Utah) Fire Department immediately sent crews to the home of Albert Alvarado, a seven-year member of the department. They knew his wife was at the show. Soon, news came that she was dead.

Heather Alvarado ran an in-home day care center and worked with the department's Ladies Auxiliary. The couple had three children who would come along when they went on cruises together.

"This is part of our family," Fire Chief Mike Phillips said. "There's no question that we are going to feel the soreness and loss from this senseless act of violence from this coward for years to come."

Dorene Anderson

Age: 49

City: Anchorage, Alaska

Anderson was at the concert with her husband when the shooting broke out. And now, their family is trying to recover from her loss.

The Alaska Housing Finance Corporation, where her husband, John, is employed, issued a statement from the family.

"She...was the most amazing wife, mother and person this world ever had," the statement read. "We are so grateful and lucky for the time that we did have with her.

"We are greatly appreciative and want to thank everyone for the thoughts and prayers you have been sending us."

Carrie Barnette

Age: 34

City: Riverside, Calif.

Barnette bought a home in Riverside, Calif., last year and was working at the Pacific Wharf Café, a waterfront restaurant in the Disneyland companion park California Adventure. Friends and family described her as an upbeat, happy, animal-loving spirit who owned a basset hound and enjoyed country music.

On Sunday, she took a bullet to the left side of her chest and died with a friend by her side, according to her cousin, Janice Chambers.

Disney CEO Robert Iger, wrote, "We mourn a wonderful member of the Disney family: Carrie Barnette. "Tragic."

Jack Beaton

Age: 54

City: Bakersfield, Calif.

Beaton was celebrating his 23rd wedding anniversary with his wife, Laurie, when the gunfire started.

He told his wife to get on the ground and draped his body over hers to protect her. He was hit. He was bleeding profusely. But he had just enough time to tell her he loved her.

"I love you, too. I'll see you in heaven," Laurie responded, according to her father, Jerry Cook. The couple had two children.

Cook said Jack's behavior that night was typical for the 54-year-old roofer — a hands-on guy who made friends easily and had the ability to draw out the best in everyone. "Him covering Laurie to protect her — that's Jack," he said.

Steve Berger

Age: 44

City: Minnesota

Berger was celebrating his 44th birthday with a trip to Las Vegas when the shooting broke out.

His sister, Christine Moore, said the family struggled to figure out if he was one of the hundreds who were shot. Two days after the shooting, they got the call.

Friends of Berger said he was shot somewhere on his torso and they tried to resuscitate him. But the shooting intensified where they were, forcing them to flee the area.

Moore described her brother as a fun-loving, hard-working father of three who was born and raised in Wauwatosa, Wis. Berger was a financial adviser working in Minnesota.

Candice Bowers

Age: 40

City: Garden Grove, Calif.

Bowers was a single mother of three who had recently adopted her youngest child, a 2-year-old girl.

"She stepped in without even blinking and took this infant into her home," her aunt Michelle Bolks told The Arizona Republic, adding, "She didn’t question it. She didn’t think about it. She just knew she needed to be there."

Bowers had an infectious laugh that came with a wide grin, Bolks remembered. But she could also be tough as nails and was fiercely loyal. Bowers loved country music and family members encouraged her to have a good time at the music festival.

"She was doing what she loved, enjoying a rare couple days away, with her best friend," Bolks said.

Denise Burditus

Age: 50

City: Martinsburg, W.V.

Tony Burditus knew he'd met his match way back in high school. In the decades since, he and Denise Burditus had two children and four grandchildren, with a fifth on the way.

"In 32 years, it grew stronger every day," Tony Burditus told CNN.

The couple was trying to escape the concert when she was struck. She went down immediately. Someone nearby helped move her to a safer area, a nurse tried to help, and a stranger in a truck drove her to the hospital. But it was too late.

Denise Burditus has spent her career in banking. Last year she decided to go back to school. Her husband said she spent all her free time studying, but still made time for their annual, month-long summer trip with the grandchildren — who called her "G-Ma" — and always kept her outgoing spirit.

"Denise always had a smile on her face," he told CNN. "Denise never met a stranger."

Sandy Casey

Age: 34

City: Redondo Beach, Calif.

Teachers at Manhattan Beach (Calif.) Middle School started their day Monday delivering tragic news to their students: one of their own died in the Las Vegas shooting.

Casey, a Vermont native who moved to California, was a special education teacher at the school for nine years. She was engaged to be married and attended the concert with her fiancee.

"Her parents ask for prayers and privacy for her sisters, co-workers, students and large extended family," Casey's family said in a statement shared by her mother's cousin, Linda O'Leary.

District superintendent Michael Matthews said "We lost a spectacular teacher who devoted her life to helping some of our most needy students."

Andrea Castilla

Age: 28

City: Huntington Beach, Calif.

Andrea Castilla was holding hands with her sister when the bullets began to fly.

According to a GoFundMe page set up by her aunt, Castilla attended the Route 91 Harvest festival for her 28th birthday. She lived in Huntington Beach and worked at Sephora.

Castilla and her sister were holding hands when someone shouted, "Duck!"

She was shot in the head, and her boyfriend, sister and sister's fiancé carried her out of the crowd, dodging bullets themselves.

Denise Cohen

Age: 58

City: Carpinteria, Calif.

When Jeff Rees thinks of his mother, one thing keeps coming to mind: her laugh.

"When she would take me to the movies as a kid, I was just waiting to hear her laugh because it would just crack me up," he said.

The 58-year-old California woman was in the crowd with her boyfriend, Derrick "Bo" Taylor, when the shooting started. By the time it was over, both were dead.

"I feel sorry for all of the people in the world who never got a chance to meet her," Rees said.

Christiana Duarte

Age: 22

City: Torrance, Calif.

The 22-year-old was visiting Las Vegas with her parents, but went to the concert without them. Officials found her cell phone, they found her ID, but her family couldn't locate their daughter.

Two days later, they got the word that she was among those who died.

After graduating from the University of Arizona with a business degree, Duarte moved back home to California and had started working for the Los Angeles Kings.

"She was incredibly driven, passionate about everyone and everything," said her friend, Maddie Noble.

Stacee Etcheber

Age: 50

City: Thousand Oaks, Calif.

A mother of three young children, Galvan, 31, attended the festival with her husband, Justin, and some friends as part of a weekend getaway.

They were close to the stage when the shooting started. Galvan was struck in the head and her husband, a Marine who served in Iraq, tried to save her. "He gave her CPR, but she was already gone," said Galvan's sister, Lindsey Poole.

Galvan was a server at Mastro's Steakhouse and had an uncanny ability to remember her customers' orders or their special occasion. "She's just constantly making sure everybody's OK," Poole said.

Dana Gardner

Age: 52

City: Grand Terrace, Calif.

After becoming one of the victims of the massacre in Las Vegas, the outpouring of support for the 52-year-old grandmother has taken on many forms.

Bob Dutton, the San Bernardino County (Calif.) assessor-recorder and county clerk heaped praise on Gardner, a 26-year employee of the county. "Known for her 'can-do' attitude and vibrant energy, Dana will be dearly missed," he wrote in a statement.

There was an online fundraiser started by her daughter, who attended the show with Gardner. And on Tuesday, her sisters visited United Blood Services in Las Vegas to thank donors in person for what they were doing for all those injured in the attack.

"She was a wonderful woman," they told ABC7 News. "Most wonderful mother, grandmother, sister."

Angela Gomez

Age: 20

City: Riverside, Calif.

At a candlelight vigil, Angela Gomez' father thanked the crowd for coming “to celebrate our angel.”

Charleston Hartfield

Age: 34

City: Las Vegas

On a trip to visit victims of the Las Vegas mass shooting, President Donald Trump honored Hartfield, a military veterans and Las Vegas police officer who was off duty at the concert but started escorting people out of the venue when the shooting began.

"Officer Hartfield was a proud veteran, a devoted husband and loving father," Trump said. "His death is a tragic loss for this police force, for this city and for our great nation."

Steve Grammas, president of the Las Vegas Police Protective Association, said he'd known Hartfield for seven years and that the officer liked to joke around with his colleagues.

"People would say he was the funniest guy."

As the clock approached 11 a.m. on Monday morning, Maryanne Hazencomb stood in a Las Vegas hospital room and gave the order to disconnect the ventilator that was keeping her son alive.

Chris Hazencomb had shielded his best friend's wife after the shooting started. The graduate of Thousand Oaks High School, a sports junkie and country music fan, soon became the 58th victim in the shooting.

His final act, using his 6-foot-5 body to protect his friend's wife, perfectly summarized how he lived his life, his mother said. She called him a constant helper, whether that meant doing a dirty job none of his coworkers at the Walmart Neighborhood Market wanted to do, or rescuing a less than social cat from the neighbor's roof.

"You don't expect your kid to go before you go," she said. "He was good to everybody. He'd go out on the limb for everybody."

Jennifer Topaz Irvine

Age: 42

City: San Diego

As the music blared, Irvine was holding hands with her friends, singing and dancing along when the bullet struck her.

Irvine, a graduate of California Western School of Law, opened her own family law and criminal defense firm in 2011 and was a television commentator on criminal trials. But she also led a busy life outside of work, earning a black belt in taekwondo, doing yoga and snowboarding.

Before she died, Kraska said she already had her eyes set on her next challenge: skydiving.

"He was my brother, so of course I thought he was an arrogant little cuss," she said, struggling to laugh. "But only I can say that cause he's my brother. He had this big, jovial, goofy laugh. He'd always try to do the right thing. He had a big heart."

Facebook photos show her hugging family, posing as a bridesmaid, throwing her pompoms in the air and goofing around at her family's race track, the Bakersfield Speedway in Bakersfield, Calif.

She was with her mom, Crissy Schweitzer, at the Route 91 Harvest Festival. She was most excited to hear Luke Combs play, co-worker Katelynn Cleveland told the Californian. During another set, when Cleveland's favorite song came on, Schweitzer called and broadcast it to her friend.

Laura Shipp

Age: 50

City: Las Vegas

Shipp moved to Las Vegas five years ago to be closer to her son, Corey, a 23-year-old Marine who she had raised on her own.

The two were separated for a moment during the concert when the shooting broke out. Her brother, Steve Shipp, rushed to Las Vegas and ran from hospital to hospital to find her. But they eventually got the call that she had died.

Steve Shipp was grieving, but was more concerned over Shipp's son, who is serving in a unit based in Las Vegas.

"He just lost the most important person in his life," he said. "She was his world and he was hers."

Erick Silva

Age: 21

City: Las Vegas

Erick Silva was working Jason Aldean’s set at the Route 91 Harvest Festival as a security guard, right in front of the stage, inside a barricade. When the shooting started, the 21-year-old helped concertgoers over the barricade so they could escape through a nearby exit.

Then he was shot.

Silva, a Las Vegas resident and three-year employee of Contemporary Services Corporation (CSC) Nevada, was the “epitome of integrity,” according to CSC vice president Jay Purves.

"He was always the first one there and the last one to leave and went above and beyond what we ever asked of him," Purves said.

In an interview with KTNV, Silva's mother wept, saying her son had "a bright future" and that she was still expecting him to walk into the room and say her name.

Susan Smith

Age: 53

City: Simi Valley, Calif.

Within hours of learning about the shooting, visitors started dropping off flowers outside Vista Elementary School, where Susan Smith was a popular office manager.

"She's the hub...really the heart of the school," said Jake Finch, a spokesperson for the Simi Valley Unified School District. "She had a great sense of humor. She's patient and kind."

Smith, an ardent country music fan who was married with two adult children, attended the music festival with two friends from the school district. Lesley Prince, a father of a Vista Elementary student, added flowers to a growing memorial to Smith.

"She was just such a sweet person," Prince said with tears welling in his eyes. "She's the one who told me my daughter was accepted here."

Brennan Stewart

Age: 30

City: Las Vegas

Friends and family of Stewart described him as a rowdy, fun-loving singer who was always the life of the party. But when the gunfire started, another side of Stewart came out.

"Brennan was the kind of guy who always put others before himself, including up to the moment he lost his life," read a family statement. "Brennan shielded his girlfriend and helped others to safety."

The amateur country-music songwriter has been the focus of a wide variety of tributes. Many people are rewatching his YouTube videos, including his rendition of "You Should Be Here" by Cole Swindell. Some are wearing cowboy boots in his honor. Others are planning a karaoke night to sing songs and collect donations for his large, extended family.

For the family of Stewart, who worked for a custom-home builder in Las Vegas, that focus on the music is a perfect way to honor him. "If country music ever disappeared, I feel like I would too," he once wrote.

Derrick “Bo” Taylor

Age: 56

City: Oxnard, Calif.

The 29-year veteran of the Nevada Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation attended the concert with his girlfriend, Denise Cohen. By the time the chaos was over, both were dead.

Taylor was a lieutenant and the commander of the state's conservation center, which houses inmates who fight wildfires.

His supervisor, Capt. Timothy Ellis, called Taylor an "outstanding" officer. "He ran an absolutely great camp," Ellisa said.

Taylor was survived by two adult sons. He had been scheduled to return to work Tuesday, Ellis said.

Neysa Tonks

Age: 46

City: Las Vegas

Tonks was a vivacious single mother of three who relished life, her 14-year-old son recalled.

"She lived life like it was her last each day," Greysen Tonks told CNN. "And she didn't care what anybody thinks."

Technologent, the technology company for whom Tonks worked, established a GoFundMe page on behalf of Tonks' family and three boys, Kaden, Braxton and Greysen. On Thursday, it had raised nearly $189,000.

She urged her friends and family to be positive, using the catchphrase "Don't be a hater," her mother Debbie Davis told CNN.

"Even if you said you hated broccoli, she said, 'Don't be a hater,'" Davis said. "She was just a wonderful person with a huge light that we will not let be dimmed."

Michelle Vo

Age: 32

City: Los Angeles

Vo had an “independent, strong personality” and loved traveling the world, even traveling to Europe alone a few years ago, her brother-in-law Paul Warren said. The daughter of Vietnamese immigrants, she loved the U.S. and “took full advantage of the freedoms she was given.”

As a successful and ambitious life-insurance agent, Vo had prepared plans for what should happen in the event of her own death.

"She had this fondness for beaches and she was very precise in saying, if she ever passed away, for her ashes to be spread on different beaches around the world," Warren said. "That’s where she wanted to be so that’s what we will be doing."

Kurt von Tillow

Age: 55

City: Cameron Park, Calif.

Attending the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas had become a tradition for the von Tillow family – this year Kurt attended with his wife, daughter, son-in-law, sister and niece. Only his son, who had recently moved to Ohio for a new job, was missing.

Von Tillow was known at his country club for his patriotism, often wearing a hat emblazoned with "U.S.A.” and an American flag-patterned shirt, and lavishly decorating his golf cart with flags on the Fourth of July. He loved golf, NASCAR, the Golden State Warriors and the San Francisco Giants, but more than anything he loved his family.

"He love, love, loved his grandkids," close friend and neighbor Brent Hitchings said. "They call him Paw Paw."

Bill Wolfe

Age: 42

City: Shippensburg, Pa.

At first, Bill Wolfe was reported missing after he was separated from his wife in the chaotic aftermath of the shooting. His relatives flew to Las Vegas to find him, and the people of his hometown of Shippensburg, Penn., held a prayer vigil at a local sports stadium hoping they would get good news.

By Tuesday night, their worst fears were realized.

The Shippensburg Police Department confirmed that Wolfe, a Pennsylvania Little League coach, was among the victims.

Wolfe's aunt Dora Wolfe said the outpouring of support from the community has helped the family deal with their loss.

"It's just so senseless," she said of the shooting. "Such a waste."
