I really enjoyed the boys as they used to live next door to my parents. My dad would fix their bikes and my younger son played with Xavian a lot around the neighborhood. He was a sweet boy who always looked out for his brothers. I am very sorry to Shannon and the rest of the family on the loss of such a sweet soul. Mason wanted to be there today, but he is in Washington DC this week, but he sends his love.

I didn’t know Xavian extremely well but I knew many people that did. I had many classes with him in both middle and high school. Everyone that knew him said that he was a great person and a good soul. It was painful hearing that one of my classmates was now gone, I hope his family is able to cope with his loss as well as many people in school. LLX
