Not sure what to say?

Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. I was so saddened to read of his passing and had to scroll through the pictures posted by his friends to insure this handsome soldier was the former student I taught at PHS. I can clearly see him sitting in class and talking to me about his wrestling and how much he loved his family. His compassionate, inquisitive nature and quiet leadership made such a lasting impression on me that I often thought of him and wondered what he was doing. I...

Derek, Pamela, and family. I am so sorry for your loss. Xavier was a sweet, kind, loving young man. I worked with him at Kimball Farms and he´s was always polite and very conscientious of people around him, always with a smile on his face. I so impressed by his demeanor, I can say he was a wonderful young man! My deepest sympathy and love to you all! Karen Ryan

My sincere condolences & deepest sympathies to all of Xavier´s beloved family and friends. I graduated in the same Class of 2013 as Xavier & I knew him as always kind & genuine.

Derek and family, my deepest sympathy for this terrible loss. No parent should have to experience this. Wishing you much strength as you navigate this heartbreak.

Xavier was an incredible individual. When he couldn´t wrestle anymore, he re-created himself. He got into the theater and then join the swim team. He didn´t sit around and mope he took on life challenges. He came from an incredibly loving family, his parents, Derek, and Pam and his brother Zabion. He was a hard worker, never having to be told what to do. He will be missed so much.

I am so sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of teaching Xavier years ago at P.H.S. He was such a kind & friendly student; I have never forgotten him. I also loved seeing him at local races & enjoyed catching up with him at these events. I am sad to hear of his passing. Sending love at this difficult time.
