Family and friends gathered on Friday to remember a man from New Rochelle who was killed by an alleged drunk driver.

Fernando Izazaga, 27, died 12 days after being hit by a suspected drunk driver. Family members say he was walking home after visiting his girlfriend when he was hit by a car at the intersection of Huegenot Street and Memorial Highway.

A Yonkers man, Johnny Gialanella, 27, is charged with vehicular assault and driving under the influence.

At funeral services on Friday, loved ones wore white instead of black to remember the good times they had with Fernando and honor the positivity he radiated. Their message to drivers is: think twice before drinking and driving.

HVFORECAST

Can send in your wishes until December 21st. I mean, Santa going high tech is very cool. He's got a lot of elves helping him get. Let's just shout out and Gen Zs who are like Santa, we're gonna, we're gonna Instagram account. Meanwhile, I've never been more like eager to get to the mailbox when I get home. I'm like, yes his card, the holiday cards can to brighten up your mood on a bad weather day. We had some bad weather days. I don't get them from the mailbox on that day. Well, someone's going to have to for you and then your mood will be brightened, right? As uh as uh we take a look at our storm was feature cast for Sunday. So today and through Saturday overall, no major weather impacts, but we just want to make sure you are planning ahead for and ready for what is likely to come on Sunday, Sunday morning. It looks dry right now, but there will be an increasing chance for periods of rain showers to develop a Sunday afternoon. Now, this is not really what we're concerned about. The concern comes in Sunday evening and Sunday night as the intensity of the rain ramps up after eight or nine o'clock, Sunday night, it'll be warm. Temperatures will be in the upper fifties to near 60. And at the same time the wind is picking up too, but expect a good soaking rain, Sunday evening up and through about say four o'clock or so on Monday. Now, a lot of times, computer models can't handle the wind gusts, well, several days out from a storm like this. So I don't expect widespread 50 mile per hour gusts, but I do expect those winds to ramp up in the 30 to 40 mile per hour range at times. And that can lead to some scattered power outages. Sunday night into early on Monday. In addition to blowing around those holiday decorations that you might have up as far as today goes, go with the heavy cold all day. It's a very similar day to yesterday. A couple of flurries around the light path snow shower otherwise mostly cloudy and dry with highs in the upper thirties today. So mood casts today. Overall today is fine. Just watch out for a little brief light snow shower throughout the day. Highs in the upper thirties overnight. Tonight, back down to around 30 or so for those late night temperatures into tomorrow morning. Nice and more seasonable tomorrow pick of the week. Saturday, 54 a storm comes in Sunday evening into very early Monday morning, the rest of next week looks dry with highs in the forties.
