Wow, very sad. From reading the article, he was just the typical all American kind of kid, athlete, good student, gregarious and fun - just tended to drink too much at times, and it ended up killing him. I feel so terrible for his parents.
As a mom, I've sent two kids off to college who could have been this boy. We talk until we're blue in the face about dangers of drugs and drink. We hope they will make good choices and not do anything to a dangerous excess, but honestly, once they are out the door and on their own they're out of our control. It's scary....
My prayers go out to his family and friends
