Licon leaves behind his wife Rebecca and their two daughters, ages four and 11 months, according to a GoFundMe for the family.
Their four-year-old daughter was recently diagnosed with Leukemia, and his wife told DailyMail.com he was taken too soon.
‘I would like people to look twice to save a life. I wish people would really pay attention when driving. My husband was a loving man. He loved his children he would go out of his way for them,’ Rebecca said.
‘It’s very difficult at this time especially now having to deal with a sick child on my own along with a young baby.
‘I know he wasn’t ready to go yet, so I just ask is for people to please please please watch out for motorcyclists, they have people at home waiting for them.’
His loved ones said Licon was working hard to support his family while his daughter battles cancer.
‘He was a big support system for his wife. She had a baby, and after she delivered her second child, she found out that her first child was battling Leukemia,’ Garcia said.
‘He was a young kid and he had a lot on his plate, but he was a strong individual. I think he was more like being strong for his daughter.’
