“On the surface, Ricky John Best and Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche appeared to lead very different lives. A retired Army veteran and a married father of four, 53-year-old Best worked for the city of Portland. At 23, Namkai-Meche was a recent college grad who worked at an consulting firm focused on environmental issues.
What they shared, according to friends and family, was a willingness to put others first and stand up to wrongdoing.
On Friday, Best and Namkai-Mechei were stabbed to death while traveling on one of Portland’s MAX light-rail train ahead of Memorial Day Weekend. The men had stood up from their seats to confront a man harassing two teenage girls, one of whom was wearing a hijab.
