Jennifer Markovskym 35, was at the clinic accompanying a friend when the gunman began firing indiscriminately at the clinic last Friday.

Her father, John Ah-King, posted a message on his Facebook page today (Nov. 29). “To my daughter Jennifer, I’m going to miss so much,” he wrote. “…Life was [too] short my beloved daughter, I was waiting to see you soon, I’m going to miss you, my [memories] of you will live on in my heart and mind.”

Contacted in Hawaii by the Denver Post, Ah-King told the newspaper, "She was the most lovable person. So kind-hearted, just always there when I needed her."

Ah-King said he found out about his daughter's death from his other daughter who had been contacted by friends.

"I couldn't believe it," Ah-King said through sobs. "I just messaged her Thursday to say happy Thanksgiving."

Jennifer Markovsky grew up in Waianae on the island of Oahu where she graduated from Waianae High School in 1997.

Besides Markovsky, two other people were killed in the clinic shooting: Ke’Arre Stewart, an Army veteran who did a tour in Iraq, and who's the father of two daughters; and Officer Garrett Swasey, a six-year veteran of the University of Colorado Colorado Springs’ police department. Swasey is survived by his wife of 17 years, Rachel; a son, Elijah; and a daughter, Faith.
