I was never real close with James, (the other boy in the wreck) but he went to school with me before he went to Escambia Academy. He was always a nice person. So sad to hear one of our fellow 2015 class mates pass this way. Prayers for the family as they go through this tough time. #flyhigh
Prayers and sympathy to the family!
However, when is this daily occurrence of wrecks and tragedy going to stop?
Is US 29 North and the side roads and intersections that dangerous? NO ONE need lose another loved one along this road.
Stop and think, be cautious, drive defensively, obey the laws and above all use good old God given…common sense when operating any vehicle…even a bicycle!
Pray for the family I am very sorry
