Bay News 9 said they'll be carrying the press conference at 4:45

[Kyle]

It's not on, so I guess they're not carrying it.

sadly,this puts everything in perspective

i feel for his family

[Guest AstroBull]

is there any way we can put together something?

Horrific. My younger brother just died unexpectedly at 42 and my parents are barely making it. I cannot imagine what this young man's parents must be going thru, and will go thru.  Indescribable anguish.  Offering prayers is even too little.

This is just heartwrenching.

Tampajo,

I'm so sorry for your loss too.

yea i would imagine that some sort of trust fund will be established in his name, for his family...

or maybe we can get a scholarship fund together to help other kids try and achieve the same dream that keeley was working so hard for when he passed.

RIP.
