Westminster man fighting for life after violent assault 02:29

A Colorado man is still fighting for his life two weeks after an apparent random assault. Westminster police say it happened sometime between 7:20 p.m. and 7:35 p.m. on Oct. 20 near 121st Avenue and Huron Street.

The man’s wife is now left to pick up the pieces, as the family faces financial ruin and the loss of its father.

“He’s very kind and loving and caring,” said Ericka Halte.

Halte says she and her husband, Jonathan “Jonny” George, have been inseparable since meeting.

“I always call him my left-hand man and I’m his right-hand woman because he’s left-handed and I’m right-handed,” Halte said.

The couple created a blended family before welcoming a baby together, Jonathan Jr., who’s now 3 years old.

“He’s our gift,” Halte said.

The young family had their whole lives ahead of them on Oct. 20, Halte and George’s fifth wedding anniversary.

“We were just hanging out, our plans were to watch a couple movies together,” Halte said.
