In loving memory of Freddy Spencer.

Freddy was a kid I knew from school. Great kid, very musically talented (him and his brother released a CD together). He got elected Prom King as he was being airlifted to a Phoenix hospital from a car accident. He died. His mom died. His brother, Isaiah, is alive. The drunk driver who hit them is dead

So sorry to hear that! My junior year I lost a classmate to gang violence, he was shot in the head. School the next day was surreal, his girlfriend found out the next day at school, of all places, because it had happened so late at night. I remember her falling apart in the hall, her friends literally supporting her, his best friend, who had been with him that night, walking around in shock with a battered face, and eventually being sent home. I remember the moment of silence, and how our class was reprimanded because after we observed ours, my teacher told a funny story about him which had us in stitches, not knowing that other classes were still observing their own moment of silence. There's a memorial of him in our yearbook, in his tux, just grinning. He was always a clown, he made french class awesome. I couldn't believe such a free spirit was gone. I've lost several classmates since, and a teacher or two. The shock is the same, everytime
