The 12-year-old from Zanesville, Ohio (not so far from where I live) has clear skin, an adorable dimple, stunning green eyes, and he’s wearing a very trendy Under Armour shirt. He looks like he should have his own DISNEY show.

Instead, he is in the ground. A life lost too soon. His obituary does not say that he took his own life, but it is strongly implied.
