(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I got home from my game today, thinking it was a regular day, and my mom asks me if I've heard the bad news yet. And I'm thinking shit, something happened to Mark, my uncle, since it seems everything bad has to deal with him lately. But that wasn't it, and the "bad" news was much worse than I expected...

My neighbor, who I used to hangout with all the time before he left for college, died last night in a car crash... I don't even know what to think about it. I used to hang with him daily, and now he's dead. He was going like 90 on the highway by six flags, and lost control of his car on the exit ramp. He hit another family of 5, the mom was declared dead this morning, the dad and one of the kids are in critical condition.

Apparently, my neighbor, Josh, was thrown out of the car on impact with the other car, and was in such bad condition they were treating him on the scene as a fatality case. But he was airlifted to St. John's hospital, where he was proclaimed dead later that night. I don't even know what to think. I've seen him all over the place over the summer, and used to hangout with him pretty frequently when I was younger, and now he's dead. Just like that, in one night, my neighbor died. I've never had one of my friends die before, so I don't really know how to deal with something like this. Anyways, sorry for the long post, I just needed to talk about it for a little, since that seems to help a little.

I feel so awful about it, he was only 20 years old. For those of you who are religious, please pray for his soul, as I know he was not very religious at all, and did some bad things in his life. Please, for any religious people, pray for him, and his mother, who I've seen, she looks horrible and very downtrodden about the death of her son.

I feel for you man, I do not know how it is to lose someone close and dear to you, but I dread the day. By the way, how old are you?

I'm 18, he's 20. He is (was) one year ahead of me in school tho, he was one of those kids who did kindergarten twice.

And I agree, going 90 off the freeway ramp was a mistake, and I was telling my mom, he had it coming to him, but I never thought he'd actually die one day. I always thought he would end up getting hurt seriously, but never die from anything he did. Death is just so permanent, it's just so hard to imagine that I will never see him again, or talk to him again.

Yea kinda same here man a guy i grew up with just died in car accident too, it's like wow i chilled with him just 2 weeks ago and now he's dead... just feels empty.

Same feeling I'm gettin. I've seen him so many times. Me and him used to be great friends, now he's gone. It's weird, knowing that I'll never see him again.

I feel bad for you and how difficult it is to realize someone you knew well has died.
I also feel bad for his mother who has lost her son and the guilt she must feel knowing that her son destroyed another family through his reckless behavior.

If prayers are said by any please remember the poor family whose lives will be changed forever by a person who never thought his actiions could take his own life let alone destroy others.
I hope the father and child survive and fully recover, but they will never recover the loss of their wife and mother.
And your friends mother can not grieve fully because of the actions of her child.

Reckless driving, drunk or sober , can destroy so many lives and not just the ones who are killed.

My thoughts are with you and the length of time it will take to come to terms with such a tragedy for all that were touched by it.

I hear you, it's horrible, not only did he get affected by his actions, but so did others who had nothing to do with him that day except for the fact that they were driving on the same highway as him.

hey man i go to a catholic school, ill keep him in my prayers.
