Man its sad to hear about someone passing away because of selfless people shootin. My heart hurts to see this happen to people. I had a brother that took a bullet for me he made it thru it but he is forever a hero to me. And i look at your story the same way you are a hero in my book. LLZ.

I remember hearing about the story when it first happened and it just broke my heart, just finished watching the 24 Strong documentary and cried thru out. I was just so truly heart broken for his family especially the mother since I am also a mother who raised 2 sons in the "hood" and just can't imagine the pain of losing one would have been like and how do you endure. Only with your faith and trust in the Lord is how. I admire his mom and brother for continuing to honor him and not letting his memory and spirit be forgotten. I will pray that the Lord continues to watch over this family and that He continues to give them the strength they need to keep keeping on

TO THE DOBSON FAMILY AND EXTENDED FAMILY MEMBERS:
My heartfelt condolences to each of you on the loss of your dear one. Upon hearing of Zaevion's courageous act of greater love given for these young ladies, truly he exemplified what our Lord said in His Word in John 15:13. Fear not, as our Lord told in Matthew 10:28; They may have killed his body, BUT CANNOT/DID NOT TOUCH HIS SOUL WHICH IS ANCHORED IN GOD THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. Please take comfort in knowing that soooooooooo mannnnnnnnnny people are ALWAYS interceding to our God for each of you. May God continue to give you those who will support, comfort, pray for and with you, encourage you and above all love you as our God in Christ does. Your family will always be in my thoughts, heart and prayers. Zaevion will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. GRACE & PEACE to each of you is my prayer.
For God's Kingdom Glory,

I'm Army retired of 22 years of service. I'm from Knoxville, TN and 2 of my brothers attended and graduated from Fulton High School. What this young man did, defines who he was. People all over the world can say whatever, I will now and forever remember the name of this young man with a simple name "HERO". If this world had more people who cared for each other and had the heart this ANGEL had, this would be a much better place. I salute #24 Zaevion Dobson!

To the Dobson family
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
1 Thessalonians 13-14,18
