(CNN) — They worked the night shift repairing holes in the famous bridge that 30,000 Marylanders depend on every day. But their work ended in tragedy Tuesday morning when a 213 million pound cargo ship crashed into the bridge, sending construction workers plunging into the dangerously cold water below.

After a day-long search, authorities called off rescue efforts and said the workers were presumed dead. Surviving for several hours in frigid waters 50 feet deep was virtually impossible, and it was too dangerous for divers to navigate the dark waters surrounded by sharp debris.

The families of the six victims are now mourning their loved ones whose bodies have never been found. Below are some of their stories.

Mayor Yasir Suazo Sandoval, 38, was one of the construction workers missing after the bridge collapsed, his brother Martín Suazo told CNN.

Suazo said his family in Baltimore called Martin Suazo early Tuesday morning to tell him his brother was missing.

Mainor Suazo is originally from Santa Barbara, Honduras, but moved to the United States in search of a better life, his brother said. Mr. Maynor has lived in the United States for the past 18 years. Martin Suazo said he was married and had two children, an 18-year-old son and a 5-year-old daughter.

In addition to working as a construction worker, Sandoval was also an entrepreneur who started a maintenance company, his brother said.

Suazo, who lives in Honduras, said his family is grateful for the support they have received from the FBI, the Honduran embassy in Washington and the governor of Maryland, who has pledged to do everything in his power to find and recover the remains.

Suazo said her family continues to hope that her brother will be found alive. But now they are just hoping that his body will recover and he will be able to feel the blockage.

Miguel Luna was also on the Francis Scott Key Bridge that collapsed on Tuesday, according to a statement from CASA, a nonprofit organization that provides critical services to working-class and immigrant families.

“Unfortunately, one of the construction workers involved turned out to be a long-time member of the CASA family, adding further sadness to an already tragic situation,” CASA Executive Director Gustavo Torres said in a statement. Stated.

“Miguel Luna, from El Salvador, left for work at 6:30 on Monday evening and has not returned home. He calls Rand home,” the statement said.

“The entire Baltimore region and CASA family mourns this tragedy,” Torres said. “Our hearts break for the families of the victims and all those affected by this terrible accident.”

CNN is reaching out to Luna’s family for more information.

CASA said it is working to provide humanitarian assistance as families face tragedy and seek answers for missing loved ones.
