Friends and family gathered to remember two students killed by a suspected drunk driver. Jacob and his girlfriend, Jennifer, were killed last Thursday after another vehicle crashed into the back of their Saturn on the Interstate.

Jacob's parents announced at the service that they are now activists against drunk driving. They are planning to change the laws in Colorado about drunk driving.

Although Jen and Jack can't be brought back, the parents intend to fight for a stronger legislation. " They hope to change the DUI process and address high speed chases in Colorado.

Patrick Strawmatt, a former Lafayette police officer, is accused of killing the two teens. Police say he was driving drunk and speeding from police, going at 120 mph, when the crash occurred. Strawmatt was out of jail on a $15,000 bond at the time of the accident.
