The San Francisco General Hospital community came together Sunday night to hold a vigil for a coworker killed on the job .
Alberto Rangel, 51, died Saturday after he was allegedly stabbed by a patient on Thursday afternoon.
"Alberto was there to help and he was failed," said his coworker Maddy Abule.
Abule worked with Rangel for over two years. He was a social worker and she helped patients with insurance eligibility, but outside of the long-term HIV clinic, they were also friends.
"He was just such a passionate, wonderful person and had so much life to live," Abule stated.
She went on to explain that he loved fashion, art, and had a great sense of humor. He also loved his job. She says he went above and beyond, even running a support group for those living with HIV and AIDS.
