CAOUETTE, David (7/14/1947)

At the moment, details about the eight lives cut short remain sketchy, but here is what Patch has learned so far:

• Randy Lee Fannin, 62, Murrieta: Born Dec. 11, 1948, Fannin founded Salon Meritage in 1990. He had many longtime clients, some going back 20 years. He was married to Sandy, also a hairdresser. "I've known Randy professionally since 1979," Mary Shawn Usborne wrote on Facebook. "I know no one who could cut hair like him." Another client described Fannin as laid-back, a sentiment echoed in a chalk message on the front door of the salon: "Randy, RIP friend, Aloha." .

• Michelle Marie Fournier, 48, Los Alamitos: Described as cheerful, friendly and easy to be around, Fournier was the ex-wife of alleged killer Scott Dekraai. Born March 3, 1963, she is survived by three children, two of them adults. On Thursday afternoon at Fournier's rented condominium, her sister declined to be interviewed.    

• Christy Lynn Wilson, 47, Cerritos: Born June 5, 1964. According to a report in the Los Angeles Times, Wilson had testified on behalf of Fournier on Tuesday as part of Fournier's custody fight with the accused killer.          

• Michelle Daschbach Fast, 47, Seal Beach: Born May 21, 1964, she was described as "blonde, cute and friendly" by Michael Vosburgh, a homeless man who hangs around the business park and used to rent a room from Fast's neighbors. Vosburgh said Fast is survived by her husband, Patrick, and three kids: two girls and a boy. He said Fast used to walk her dog every morning. "I just about fainted when I heard about Michelle," he said. According to the Beach Futbol Club website, Fast was a team mom for the girls' U16 soccer club. "It is with great sadness that we write to let you know that one of the victims in the senseless Seal Beach tragedy was Michelle Fast, wife of Patrick Fast who manages our Girls U16 White team, and mother of Lisa Fast a player on that team," the club's website states.

• Victoria Ann Buzzo, 54, Laguna Beach: Born July 21, 1957. 

• Lucia Bernice Kondas, 65, Huntington Beach: Born Feb. 19, 1946.    

• Laura Lee Elody, 46, Huntington Beach: Born Oct. 1, 1965, she had just celebrated a birthday and was newly married. A stylist at the salon, Elody was also the daughter of Hattie Stretz, who was critically wounded in the shooting (see "One Survivor" below).

• David Caouette, 64, Seal Beach: Born July 14, 1947.
