Read MoreBrock, Sara and Rylan, my heart is breaking for you. Max was such a sweetheart. I'll never forget him talking about his trip to the Galápagos Islands. He was so excited. A great smile and a kind heart. I will always remember him being Cameron's first boyfriend. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

It was my privilege to have Max in both my ELA and SS classes during his 6th-grade year. His sense of fun brightened our classroom, and created a family bond among our class. I wish you peace as we all mourn the loss of a beautiful young man.

My heart is heavy today in learning of your son's tragic death along with his longtime friend, Alejandro. Brock, your words ministered to me that you shared on Channel 19 in reflection. May you find some measure of comfort in hiding together as a family in the shadow of God's wing & the amazing memories Max left in the hearts of the people who knew him.
