St. Louis Park restaurant Park Tavern reopened for the first time after a man who prosecutors say was four times the legal limit crashed into its patio, killing two people and injuring nine others.

Kristina Folkerts and Gabe Harvey were killed in the crash.

According to a social media post on the restaurant’s page, doors reopened at 12 p.m., but it asks that customers be patient and kind and adds it is thankful for all of the support that has come in for staff and victims after Sunday’s crash.

“It’s hard to reopen, but you need to get back into that routine and face what you got to face, and feel what you got to feel,” Zach Winslow, Park Tavern employee, said.

Folkerts was serving on the patio when she died.

“She was the love of my life,” Wesley Stevens, Park Tavern server, said with a deep sigh. “She was a great girl and she wore her heart on her sleeve and we had so much fun together.”

Some employees came back to work to find comfort.

“I just wanted to see her again. I know she’s here with all of us,” Stevens said.

Methodist Hospital employee Gabe Harvey was on the patio with coworkers for a going away party when he was killed in the crash.

“We know that what they did in their lives will live on through so many people that they touched,” Beth Erickson, who worked with Gabe Harvey, said. “Gabe was a very, very kind soul.”

“He [Gabe] made such an impression on me, the nicest, kindest, most generous person I’ve ever met,” Keith Hanson, who knew Gabe, said. More pictures that gave a fraction of the victim’s life stories were added to the memorial as people from across the metro gathered to lean on each other.

Family is the foundation of the memorial so they’re doing what family does best.

“He [Wesley] knows I’m here for him for anything, and love him to death,” Winslow said. “Family is 100% the way to describe it. Everyone here has so much love for each other and has each other’s backs and it’s something that we all are going to get through together.”

Steven Bailey, 56, was formally charged on Tuesday.

Updated information from Methodist Hospital states that three staff members remain hospitalized. The fourth person was treated and released with minor injuries.

According to Methodist Hospital:

• Theo Larson is in fair condition
• Tegan D’Albani is in serious condition
• Laura Knutsen is in serious condition

Court records show Bailey has five prior convictions for drunk driving on his record, and also show his license was revoked multiple times between 1985 and 2015. At the time of Sunday’s crash, he did have a valid license, but charging documents say his BAC reading was at 0.325.

In addition, court documents state that after the crash, investigators overheard Bailey on the phone saying, “I hit the gas instead of the brake… I’m probably going to jail.” He then reportedly told police his life was pretty much over.

Documents go on to say Bailey’s car shows he was going 30-45 miles an hour when he crashed into the Park Tavern patio, leading to the deaths of Kristina Folkerts — a server at Park Tavern — and Gabe Harvey, an ICU coordinator at Methodist Hospital. The crash injured nine other people, many of whom doctors say have a long road to recovery ahead of them.

“This did not have to happen,” said Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty. “They deserved better. And it’s a shame that one person’s choice has left indelible scars on so many lives.”

Moriarty said Bailey could face more charges if others who were injured come forward.

Bailey made his first court appearance for this case at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday. His bond was set at $500,000 with conditions or $1 million with no conditions.

His next court date is set for Oct. 1.
