Niamh Rolston, 20, Peyton Stewart, 21, Asha Weir, 21, and Deslyn Williams, 21, all seniors at Pepperdine’s Seaver College of Liberal Arts, were killed at around 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday while standing or walking in the 21600 block of Pacific Coast Highway.
Pepperdine student Aubrey Lewis, a close friend of all four of the deceased students, also spoke at Sunday’s memorial. “Peyton, Asha, Niamh and Deslyn were our best friends. They were everything.” Recalling her friendship with Deslyn, she said “‘Making others smile made her smile” and “She was joy, everyone’s best hype woman.”
Thompson also said “Peyton was supposed to be my maid of honor. She got me through my hardest times. She quickly became part of my family… always teaching me how to prepare for my future. A Gossip Girl-loving fashionista. Asha, Niamh, and I called her ‘Mom.’ She was so mature, so selfless.” Gash added, “In the days ahead, we will come together in meaningful ways to honor and celebrate the lives of the remarkable individuals lost to this unthinkable tragedy. We will harness the strength found in the bonds of friendship and the community that unites us.”
The university urged students in need of support to contact the school’s counseling center at 310-506-4210, with counselors available around the clock.
