About eleven hours ago, we received word that a fourteen-year-old from our former community was killed in an ATV accident. At first I was confused because just six weeks ago two of Robert's former classmates were critically injured in an ATV accident, and I thought perhaps the young man had passed, but it was mentioning careflight being called...and sadly I realized it was a new tragedy. Shortly after I learned the identity, and we are heartbroken. The young man and his family attended the same church as our family, and we are friendly with his parents. His dad was always out there coaching him in sports and they are just such a super family. Details are sketchy, but to be honest, I don't particularly care about the details anyway. Levi is gone, a family is broken, and those are the only details that matter.
As a follow up, I also learned more info about the other teens injured six weeks ago. The day after I happened to run into her, the young lady suffered a two minute grand mal seizure and was readmitted to ICU. She is out again, but has not been allowed to return to school. The young man is also out of the hospital. He is walking with a cane, but also has not returned to school.
My prayers are going out to all of these families, and to everyone effected by this latest tragedy.
