I just learned of this tragedy by speaking with Ashton's uncle in Athens. Ashton and I became friends in 1998 at McCallie. We had made plans to spend time together over Christmas, and I was just thinking the other day how amazing it is that I have known him for 10 years. This is truly a tragedy. He will be in my thoughts forever. Wesley Camp
