SIERRA VISTA -- Nearly 100 people gathered in Naco for a candlelight vigil for a fallen Border Patrol agent.

Family members, law enforcement officials and local residents attended Thursday night's event for 30-year-old Nicholas Ivie, who was fatally shot Tuesday near the Arizona-Mexico border.

The Sierra Vista Herald/Bisbee Daily Review says the organizer of the vigil was Rev. Seth Polley, who's the vicar of St. John's Episcopal Church in Bisbee.

Father Samuel Jandeh, vicar of St. Michael's Catholic Parish in Naco, says Ivie's death was more of a sacrifice than an ordinary death.

He says law enforcement officials expose themselves to danger and they deserve appreciation for it.

    Very sad loss
    I think that from now on, the President, the secretary of Homeland Security and all of the politicians that continue to consider the illegal immigration community as potential votes should have to attend these funerals. They should have to look the family of the victim in the eyes and explain to them why they are committed to doing nothing about this problem.
