A large crowd of family and friends gathered at the Moraga Commons Park Nov. 2 to pay tribute to the life of 18-year-old Bryan Capdevielle, who is presumed drowned after he and a younger brother got in trouble in the water off Asilomar State Beach near Monterey on Oct. 25. A nearby surfer was able to rescue the 16-year-old boy. Search teams were not able to find Capdevielle and the effort was called off the next day. Capdevielle recently graduated from the Acalanes Center for Independent Study. He is remembered as a wonderful young man full of life, creativity and happiness. He is survived by his parents, grandparents and three siblings.
