Clark College administrators, faculty, staff and students continued to respond Monday to news of the weekend death of Alex Montoya, dean of enrollment services.
Montoya, 38, died in a vehicle-related accident Saturday near Scappoose, Ore.
Condolence messages to Montoya’s family — including his wife, Shanda Diehl, also a Clark administrator – are being routed to the school’s human resources department.
A Montoya-Diehl children’s scholarship fund for their five children will be established through the Clark College Foundation, the school said on Monday. In light of Montoya’s death, outgoing Vice President Rassoul Dastmozd asked that a farewell party slated for Wednesday be cancelled, and the college agreed.
A wake for Montoya will be held 4 to 7 p.m. Friday at the Hamilton-Mylan Funeral Home, 302 W. 11th St. in Vancouver.
