My heart and prayers go out to the family....I no the young man who's memorial they was visiting. He was good friends with my oldest son. i lost a child a little over a year ago. It sickens me to see such a young life gone. i was also very upset the the Junction city tribune. They got a nasty email from me...i really don't think they needed to make a video of the little angel laying in the blood soaked sheet. I take that back they DID NOT!!! need to show that. His friends and family do not need to see that. The media has no compassion for peoples feelings!!! when I lost my son they did the same thing..I did not need to no how far he landed when he was hit by a car..Nor did i need to see the blood and his shoe on the street.I will keep his family in my heart..i no exactly how they feel and what they are going through... My son was 17...Being a angel mom is something no one should have to experience. heaven needed another angel. RIP little sweetheart.

This kid was just a normal young teenage kid. This was not a suicide situation. His life was not rocky and dangerous.

Some of you people are unnecessarily cruel. There hasn't been enough information released yet for anyone to make a proper determination of the circumstances.

It was a teen! we all know kids do stupid stuff all the time. You could be a little compassionate about it. A very bad choice was made and the ultimate consequence was suffered. Calling names and poking fun just makes you look like the bigger idiot.
