CHANDLER, AZ \u2014 Roy Sublasky is a pastor at Life Community Church in Gilbert.<\/p>

“Daniel was a fun-loving young man,” Sublasky said. “He really did have a heart to serve.”<\/p>

Back in October, Sublasky got a knock on his door that no parent ever wants.<\/p>

“Mesa police department knocked on the door, handed us a number for the Chandler Police department and asked us if we could rush down to Chandler Regional,” Sublasky said.<\/p>

It was there he learned from doctors that his son, Daniel Justus Sublasky, who was 19 at the time, had been shot 3 times.<\/p>

He died Oct. 11. Two 19-year-olds were arrested in connection to his death.<\/p>\n

“Initially, when this all happened, I had many different individuals come to me and say ‘hey we need to do something about this’ and it’s like well what do we do,” Sublasky said.<\/p>

Through talking with and counseling many of Daniel’s peers, Sublasky saw a real need for de-escalation from violence in the community.<\/p>

“What we have done is tried to create a program that is not only de-escalation but prevention,” Sublasky said.<\/p>

He is using the word LOVED to get the message across, each letter a part of the overall purpose:<\/p>

L \u2014 Live with PurposeO \u2014 Own Your ChoicesV \u2014 Value Every LifeE \u2014 Embrace GrowthD \u2014 Develop Healthy Habits and Strong Relationships<\/p>

“What we are hoping for is that people will embrace that, whether that be in the classroom, in different community events, I would like to be able to host community events where we are learning, you know, each aspect of LOVED,” Sublasky said.<\/p>

The program is still in progress, but Sublasky believes it is worth it.<\/p>

“We really want to turn this and not just keep it as a tragedy, but somehow bring some purpose out of this pain,” Sublasky said.<\/p>

Sublasky hopes to connect with people in the community about this mission. To learn more Sublasky says to send him an email, roy@lifecommunityaz.com<\/p>
