October 8, 2012
A second person has died as the result ofa traffic crash over the weekend in southwest Escambia County, while a Cantonment resident was injured in an unrelated accident on the beach.
Blue Angel Fatalities
Brisden C. Grassman, age 20 of Pensacola, lost control on Blue Angel Parkway south of Southbay Drive, left the roadway and struck a tree. Grassman was thrown 89 feet from the point of impact into a heavily wooded area, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. He was pronounced deceased at the scene by Escambia Count EMS.
A passenger in Grassman’s 2001 Chevrolet, 21-year old Kristopher Canning of Pensacola, was airlifted to Baptist Hospital in critical condition where he later died, the FHP said Monday afternoon.
Beach Crash
The Florida Highway Patrol said 19-year old Rena Michelle Stackpole of Pensacola was traveling west on Fort Pickens Road in a 2008 Nissan Altima when she lost control and collided head-on with a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am driven by 22-year John M. Gresla of Berne, IN, at 11:17 a.m. Sunday.
Stackpole and her passenger, 18-year old Alexis Danielle Brown of Cantonment, were transported to Sacred Heart Hospital with minor injuries. Gresla was transported to Navy Hospital, also with minor injuries.
Stackpole was cited for careless driving and no seat belt.

Cody Grassman was a good young man. He loved life and was very thoughtful and caring. He will be greatly missed and never forgotten! We love him and wish that life would have delt him a different card. We cannot change what has happened only learn how to cope with this tragedy. My family’s life will never be the same…
My thoughts and prayers are with the Grassman family & also the Kristopher Canning family. CODY will b miss by many love u uncle Timmy
For Alexis: this is Ms Ronda who knew you from Aunt Melanie’s house years ago. I am so happy to see that God protected you and your friend from great harm in this accident. I praise Him for His provision and pray that you do well in your recovery.
For the Grassman and Canning families: I pray that you will seek comfort during this time of loss and injury from the only one who can give true comfort…Jesus Christ. I will be praying for Kristopher’s complete recovery.
