The son of a man who died in the Northern California wildfire says his father will be buried next to his wife in a cemetery in the small town where he died.
The Butte County sheriff's office identified 77-year-old Carl Wiley of Magalia as one of at least 42 who died in the fire.
Magalia and the neighboring town of Paradise were devastated by the fire.
James Wiley says his father was a tire recapper for Michelin and described him as a stoic figure.
The elder Wiley will share a headstone with his wife, Mary Lee. She died of cancer nearly three decades ago.
