Another Death Hits Close to Our Family Again........Sad and SMH (1 Viewer)

[russinfortworth]

Parents and Kids..........we just learned of the news of the passing of a dear friends 18YO son in a car accident.  He was going on to play college baseball at TCU.

I coached him at University LL, and Dylan (my son) played all-stars/summer ball with him. His parents are wonderful people. Our hearts go out to them and all that are touched by his passing.  We were looking forward to competing against him in college.

This is the second death in less than 2 months of young men that had a direct effect on our family.

So if nothing else, maybe this post will help one person/family:

Parents please support your children. Be active in their lives, so that they feel comfortable confiding in you. Kids, we are not trying to be intrusive, we are trying to help you learn from OUR mistakes.

Kids (especially those leaving for college, or just in college), you are not INDESTRUCTIBLE. Accidents can and will happen. Do what you can to minimize their possibility. Take and accept your parents teachings/lessons of life.

NO ONE WANTS TO GET "THAT" CALL.

BE SAFE AND ENJOY LIFE, IT IS BETTER WITH YOU HERE.

Damn,  sorry Russ. That sounds  terrible. A kid with a real chance to succeed.  Give your son all the love and counseling he might need after losing a counterpart like that.
