Authorities blocked off Roger Avenue in South Lake Tahoe near where four people died.

A candlelight vigil is 5 p.m. tonight at Lake View Commons for the four people who died Monday at a South Lake Tahoe address from a suspected overdose.

The vigil is set to remember Abraham Lemus, Keely Pereira, and brothers Clifford and Adam Joy. The Joys grew up in Carson Valley.

A memorial service for the Joy brothers is 11 a.m. Saturday at LifePoint Church.

Gofundme accounts have been set up for three of the victims found in a home on Roger Avenue.

Supporters of Carson Valley resident Clifford Joy had raised $13,095 of their $20,000 goal on the account set up by his sister-in-law.

“This was completely unexpected, and he did not have any type of life insurance to cover expenses in such an event,” according to the site. “We are hoping to raise enough to help my sister as she navigates life without her partner. All donations are setup to go directly to Katie to help support Cliff''s family during this difficult time.”

A memorial service for resident Keely Pereira is 1 p.m. Saturday at Lake Tahoe Christian Church.

Pereira’s supporters raised $15,365 of their $15,000 goal to cover the cost of funeral and memorial expenses.

“Any excess money will be donated towards any efforts to keep our beautiful Lake Tahoe community safe from the ever growing drug problem that breaks so many families,” supporters said.

Lemus’ family raised $19,222 in two days and are not taking any further donations.
