I did not know this young man, but i commend him on his efforts of changing his life around, something that is not easy. Its like whatever you do is not good enough! He got into sports which ment he had to keep his grades up! This is so sad to see! Now anothor mother and family must go on without their loved one! Please yall this has got to stop! peace and blessings
Devastating. My Love and support goes out dearly to thier family members and friends. So sad our communities lose to this careless acts of violence. :(
I didn't know him but I feel that this is so unfair that people keep dying like this. I can say that because he did change his life around maybe it was his time. But why do people have to go this way my cousin was 99 and just a month later we are up to 107 this is sick how a person can just take someone's life with no remorse at at all God help us and watch over us I pray for the victim's families and for the people that do these things.
Greg was an amazing young man, and I’m grateful that I had the opportunity to know him. His smile was contagious and his insight granted him wisdom beyond his years. He was just beginning to live his dreams, and I can only hope that he is able to see how he has touched the lives of his family, friends, and strangers.
