Senior Wade Grimes of Everett was killed in a car accident today. His cousin has messaged me and asked me to please make a post about it. The family will definitely be in need of support...

Please include the Grimes family in your thoughts and prayers as they will be needed. If the family or anyone contacts me with information for sending cards or anything I will pass it on right away.

So many times I've opened up the newspaper to the sports section and have seen his name for wrestling....I'd sit there and think wow, he must be a real talented guy....never once did I think that in a few weeks his name would be under the Deaths column or in the Obituaries. I didn't even know him but it makes me so sad to hear about such an awful tragedy. His family, friends, and all who did know him will be in my prayers.

It really breaks my heart to hear about such sad and terrible things happening to kids the same age as most of us.
