A second memorial service for Roberts-Mesa is scheduled at 11 a.m. Saturday at Christ Unity Church, 311 Highland Ave., El Cajon.
Alcohol is suspected in the crash that killed the chairman of a local Indian tribe and his daughter-in-law Saturday afternoon, a California Highway Patrol officer said Sunday.
William C. “Bill” Mesa, 57, lost control of his motorcycle on Lyons Valley Road a quarter-mile east of Skyline Truck Trail and hit a power pole, said CHP Officer Rob Sanchez. Crystal Roberts-Mesa, 29, also was killed in the crash, said an investigator with the Medical Examiner's Office.
Mesa was elected chairman of the Jamul Indian Village a year ago and was on the forefront of the small tribe's efforts to build a casino on its six-acre reservation. RELATED STORY HERE

I am in so much shock to here this, I knew Crystal and she was a wonderful person who helped me on so many occasions. She was so full of life and optimism. I can't believe she's gone, UCSD students will miss her dearly. My condolences to her family.
I wonder just how Bill Mesa will explain to the CREATOR why he destroyed so many lives with the eviction of lifelong tribal members, tearing down their homes to build a Casino. Him and Leo Acebado and his tribal thugs evicted good people to satisfy their greed. No resting in peace here Bill Mesa, you will finally have to explain to your MAKER.
Crystal had one of the most beautiful spirits I have ever encountered. Always genuine and true. This is an unimaginable loss, which will be felt through the community, especially the children she volunteered with. I, and the community will miss her terribly. I pray for her husband and family, as we all should during this time. My heart goes out to all who Crystal has touched, and are now experiencing the pain of losing her. Let's always remember times of smiling and happiness with her.
It's difficult to lose loved ones in this tragic manner.
Sadder still is what some of the Jamul leadership foisted upon their own people with the evictions.
I feel sorry for Jamul tribal Chairman William C. “Bill” Mesa who died in a car crash along with his daughter-in-law, Crystal Roberts-Mesa in a fatal car crash. Nowadays, it has become common for normal people like us to get caught in severe road accidents. Since there are more and more inexperienced drivers on road, it is obvious to deal with some sort of accident, minor or major. However, it doesn't matter if we undergo a minor accident or a major one, we will end up paying a lot as hospital bills. In this situation, it is a good idea to call in a professional personal injury lawyer to file a personal injury claim. With the help of a personal injury lawyer, we will be able to make other party pay for all your healthcare charges. For more information visit visit Work Accidents .
This is very shocking to hear it, Crystal is a nice person and he is always helped other without any purpose, his life is too great then other one. This is very bad news that a great person is died in car accident. But today accidents are very normal so it is a fine thought to call in a specialized personal injury lawyer to file a work accident claim. With the help of a lawyer,
Chairman has been killed for the occupation of the highest ambit. The use of the measure has been done for the regulations for the humans. The potentially sound item has been linked for the educationists for the future times.
