FORT WORTH, Texas<\/strong> – A Fort Worth man is still in disbelief that this pain has shattered his family, and he also doesn’t want other families to experience this pain.<\/p>\n

Heading into the holiday weekend, Fort Worth police and other law enforcement agencies are expected to increase patrols.<\/p>\n

What we know:<\/p>\n

Eastbound on I-30 from Fort Worth to Dallas, it’s a commute Rob Rose took every morning for the last 40 years, even on weekends.<\/p>\n

At 73 years old, Rose would leave his Fort Worth home around 2 a.m. to go to work at Mission Foods.<\/p>\n

Fort Worth police say Rose was hit and killed by an alleged drunk driver on I-30 near Beach Street on June 22.\u00a0<\/p>\n

31-year-old Tristan Mayen now faces a charge of intoxication manslaughter.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

According to a crash report, Mayan\u2019s Chevy Silverado struck the left rear truck bed of Rose’s Tacoma.<\/p>\n

Both trucks then traveled down the hill.<\/p>\n

Mayen was arrested following field sobriety tests.<\/p>\n

Rose was pronounced dead on scene.<\/p>\n

Rose leaves behind his granddaughter, his adult children, and his wife of 50 years.<\/p>\n

All who he vowed to provide for even in his 70s.<\/p>\n

Family wants justice <\/p>\n

What they’re saying:<\/p>\n

“Watched him walk out the door, just like I normally would. I had no idea, I would say bye to him,” said Jared Rose, his son.<\/p>\n

“When you see a good man like that and the way that it ended. It’s terrible.”<\/p>\n

Jared described the devastation his dad’s death left on the family.<\/p>\n

“My daughter is going to grow up without her grandpa. I can probably say my young daughter was my dad’s best friend,” he said.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

“We want justice. We want justice for Rob.”<\/p>\n

What’s next:<\/p>\n

Mayen did bond out of jail. His bond conditions include an ankle monitor, drug tests, and no alcohol.<\/p>\n

He has hired an attorney, but his attorney doesn’t have a comment at this time.<\/p>\n
