    In Loving Memory of David Torrez

    CIBOLA COUNTY, N.M. — A family is grieving, and a community is searching for answers following the tragic death of 52-year-old David Torrez, who lost his life in a devastating hit-and-run crash along Interstate 40 in Laguna.

    According to New Mexico State Police, the fatal incident occurred on the night of February 15 near mile marker 114 on I-40. Authorities report that David was riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle eastbound when he was struck from behind by another vehicle. The driver of that vehicle fled the scene, leaving David critically injured on the roadway.

    Officers were dispatched to the area around 11:10 p.m. Despite emergency response efforts, David Torrez was pronounced deceased at the scene by the New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator.

    The investigation remains ongoing as state police work to identify the driver responsible for this heartbreaking hit-and-run.

    David Torrez was more than a motorcyclist traveling a quiet stretch of highway that night — he was a beloved son, family member, and friend whose life touched many. At 52 years old, David carried with him decades of memories, relationships, and experiences that shaped the man he became.

    Those who knew David describe him as someone who appreciated the freedom of the open road, the hum of his Harley-Davidson beneath him symbolizing independence and peace. For many riders, motorcycling is more than transportation — it is therapy, reflection, and passion combined. David found joy in that freedom, and it was a part of who he was.

    But beyond the bike and the road was a man known for his character. He was someone who valued connection, who shared laughter, stories, and moments that now echo in the hearts of those left behind. His absence creates a silence that cannot be filled.

    The pain of this tragedy is compounded by the fact that the responsible driver fled the scene. In moments of crisis, humanity calls for compassion and accountability. David deserved help, dignity, and justice. His loved ones deserve answers.

    As investigators continue their work, the community holds onto hope that those responsible will be identified and brought forward. In the meantime, family and friends mourn not only the loss of David’s life but the loss of future moments — holidays, milestones, simple everyday conversations that will never again be shared.

    This tragedy serves as a solemn reminder of the vulnerability of motorcyclists on our highways and the critical responsibility every driver carries when behind the wheel. One decision can alter countless lives forever.

    Today, we remember David Torrez for the life he lived — not solely for the way it ended. We remember his spirit, his passions, his strength, and the relationships he built over 52 years. His journey on this earth may have ended, but his memory rides on in the hearts of those who loved him.

    May David Torrez rest in peace. May his family find comfort in cherished memories, and may justice bring them the closure they deserve.

    LAS VEGAS, Nev. — The state of Nevada is mourning the heartbreaking loss of two men whose lives were tragically taken in a devastating and fiery crash near Beatty along U.S. 95 in the early morning hours of February 26, 2026.

    According to the Nevada Highway Patrol, the collision occurred around 2:00 a.m. just north of mile marker 73 in Nye County. Authorities reported that a flatbed tow truck traveling northbound crossed into the southbound lane, where it collided with an oncoming semi tractor-trailer. Despite attempts by the semi driver to brake and swerve in an effort to avoid impact, the crash could not be prevented.

    The force of the collision caused both vehicles to erupt into flames, creating a catastrophic scene along the highway. Tragically, both drivers were pronounced deceased at the scene.

    The driver of the tow truck was identified as Donald Joseph Selters, 40, of Tonopah, Nevada. The driver of the semi tractor-trailer was Gregory Keith Glenn, 67, of Las Vegas, Nevada.

    The investigation remains ongoing and is being led by the Nevada State Police Highway Patrol – Major Incident Reconstruction Team.

    Today, we pause not only to acknowledge the tragic circumstances of this crash but to honor the lives of two men who were far more than the details of a highway report.

    Remembering Donald Joseph Selters

    At 40 years old, Donald Joseph Selters was a hardworking Nevadan whose life reflected dedication and perseverance. As a tow truck operator, he worked in a demanding profession — one that often places individuals on long stretches of road at difficult hours. Those who knew Donald describe him as dependable, steady, and committed to the responsibilities he carried.

    He was a son, a friend, and a member of the Tonopah community. His loss leaves an emptiness that cannot be measured, especially for those who shared in his daily life — the conversations, the laughter, the ordinary moments that now feel so extraordinary in their absence.

    Remembering Gregory Keith Glenn

    Gregory Keith Glenn, 67, of Las Vegas, was a seasoned professional who had spent years navigating highways across the region. At an age when many look toward slowing down, Gregory continued to demonstrate strength, work ethic, and resilience.

    Friends and loved ones remember Gregory as a man of character — thoughtful, experienced, and grounded. His presence carried wisdom shaped by decades of life, and his passing leaves a profound void for family members who cherished him deeply.

    A Community Reflects

    Highway tragedies are particularly sobering reminders of how fragile life can be. In a matter of seconds, two lives were lost, families were forever changed, and a community was left grieving.

    As of 2026 year-to-date, the Southern Command of the Nevada State Police Highway Patrol has investigated 14 fatal crashes resulting in 16 fatalities — a stark reminder of the importance of roadway safety, attentiveness, and caution at all times.

    While investigations continue to determine every contributing factor in this collision, what remains certain is that two Nevada families are facing unimaginable loss.

    In moments like these, communities unite — not only in grief but in compassion. We extend heartfelt condolences to the families, friends, and colleagues of Donald Joseph Selters and Gregory Keith Glenn. May they find strength in cherished memories and comfort in the support of those around them.

    Though their journeys ended far too soon on a quiet stretch of U.S. 95, their lives mattered deeply. They were men with histories, relationships, and stories that stretched far beyond that highway.

    May Donald Joseph Selters and Gregory Keith Glenn rest in peace. Their memories will endure in the hearts of those who loved them, and their lives will never be forgotten.

    In Loving Memory of Donna Hires

    FORT WHITE, Fla. — With heavy hearts, family, friends, and the Fort White community mourn the tragic loss of Donna Hires, 56, whose life was taken in a devastating crash Thursday night in Columbia County.

    According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the accident occurred around 8:30 p.m. along U.S. 27 near Southwest Junction Road. Donna was traveling westbound when, for reasons still being examined, her pickup truck veered off the roadway to the left. The vehicle overturned, flipping onto its roof before striking several trees along the highway.

    Despite emergency response efforts, Donna was pronounced deceased at the scene. Authorities later reported that she was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash.

    While details of the collision are still being reviewed, what remains painfully clear is that a beloved woman, daughter, friend, and community member has been lost far too soon.

    Donna Hires was more than the tragic circumstances of one evening — she was a woman whose presence mattered deeply to those around her. At 56, she had lived a life filled with relationships, memories, lessons, and love. Those who knew Donna describe her as strong-willed yet compassionate, independent yet deeply caring. She carried herself with quiet resilience and a heart that made room for others.

    In a close-knit community like Fort White, loss resonates far beyond immediate family. Neighbors become extended family, and every life is woven into the fabric of daily routines — familiar waves, shared conversations, and simple acts of kindness. Donna’s absence will be felt in those ordinary moments that now hold extraordinary weight.

    For her loved ones, the grief is immeasurable. The suddenness of such a loss leaves no time for goodbyes, no final words, only memories to hold onto. Those memories — laughter shared, stories told, time spent together — now become sacred treasures.

    Her passing also serves as a solemn reminder of the importance of roadway safety. In moments like these, communities are reminded how fragile life can be and how critical simple safety measures can be. Though nothing can undo this heartbreaking loss, awareness and caution may help prevent future tragedies.

    As family members prepare to honor Donna’s life, they do so with profound sorrow but also with gratitude for the years they were blessed to share with her. Funeral arrangements are expected to be announced in the coming days.

    Today, we remember Donna Hires not for how she left this world, but for how she lived in it — as a woman who mattered, who loved, and who was loved in return.

    May she rest in eternal peace. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew her, and her spirit will forever remain a part of the Fort White community she called home.

    In Loving Memory of Hunter Franklin Hall

    GREENVILLE, S.C. — Our hearts are shattered as we mourn the tragic and unimaginable loss of 9-year-old Hunter Franklin Hall, whose young life was taken far too soon in a fatal crash along West Blue Ridge Drive.

    On the morning of February 27, 2026, at approximately 7:00 a.m., first responders were dispatched to the intersection of West Blue Ridge Drive and Old Bramlett Road following reports of a two-vehicle collision. Despite swift emergency response efforts, Hunter was pronounced deceased at the scene at 7:20 a.m., according to the Greenville County Coroner’s Office.

    An external examination conducted later that day determined the cause of death to be blunt force trauma to the head. His passing has been ruled an accident. The incident remains under active investigation by the Greenville County Coroner’s Office in conjunction with the South Carolina Highway Patrol.

    Hunter Franklin Hall was only nine years old — a bright light in the lives of everyone who knew him. At an age filled with curiosity, imagination, and boundless energy, Hunter represented pure innocence and joy. Whether he was laughing with friends, learning something new at school, or spending cherished time with his family, he embraced life with the beautiful simplicity and enthusiasm that only a child can bring.

    For his family, the loss is immeasurable. A child’s smile, a child’s laughter, a child’s dreams — these are treasures no parent should ever have to lose. Hunter’s presence in his home was undoubtedly one of warmth and love, and the silence left behind is one that words cannot adequately describe.

    The Greenville community now stands together in collective grief. When tragedy strikes a child, it touches every heart. Classmates, teachers, neighbors, and friends are left grappling with sorrow over a life that had only just begun to unfold. Hunter’s future was filled with promise — birthday candles yet to be blown out, school milestones yet to be achieved, dreams yet to be discovered.

    As authorities continue their investigation, we are reminded of how fragile life can be and how quickly ordinary moments can turn into life-altering events. In the midst of this pain, the community is encouraged to hold loved ones closer, to speak words of kindness more often, and to treasure the gift of each new day.

    Funeral arrangements for Hunter Franklin Hall are pending and will be announced by the family in the coming days. During this incredibly difficult time, they ask for privacy, prayers, and support as they navigate a grief no family should ever endure.

    Though his time on earth was brief, Hunter’s impact was profound. He will forever remain a beloved son, a cherished friend, and a sweet soul whose memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.

    May Hunter Franklin Hall rest peacefully, wrapped in eternal light. His smile, his spirit, and his innocence will never be forgotten.

    OXON HILL, Md. – The community mourns the tragic loss of 24-year-old Alex Rodriquez Hines of Bryans Road, who passed away in a devastating traffic collision early Friday morning. Hines, a young man remembered for his warmth, energy, and the joy he brought to those around him, was taken far too soon.

    On February 27, 2026, at approximately 4:30 a.m., law enforcement officers responded to a severe two-vehicle crash near the intersection of Indian Head Highway and the Capital Beltway. The preliminary investigation by the Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit indicates that a vehicle traveling northbound entered the southbound lanes of Indian Head Highway, approaching the Capital Beltway overpass. Tragically, it collided head-on with Hines’ southbound vehicle.

    Emergency personnel arrived swiftly, but despite their efforts, Hines was pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver of the other vehicle was transported to a nearby hospital and is expected to recover from non-life-threatening injuries. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident to determine what led to this heartbreaking event.

    Alex Rodriquez Hines was more than a name in a news report—he was a beloved son, friend, and community member. Those who knew him recall his bright smile, his kindness, and his unwavering sense of humor that could light up any room. Friends and family have taken to social media and local communities to share their memories and express their grief, painting a portrait of a young life full of promise and compassion.

    In the wake of this tragedy, local officials have reminded drivers of the importance of road safety, vigilance, and caution, particularly during early morning hours when fatigue, impaired driving, or other factors can contribute to catastrophic accidents.

    As the investigation continues, the family of Alex Rodriquez Hines asks for privacy during this profoundly difficult time. Memorial services will be announced once arrangements are finalized. The community is invited to honor his memory by reflecting on the joy he brought into the lives of those around him and the lasting impact he made during his brief, yet meaningful, life.

    Though Alex’s life was cut tragically short, the love, laughter, and memories he leaves behind will endure in the hearts of all who knew him. In the face of loss, we hold onto his legacy—a reminder to cherish every moment and every connection we have with those we hold dear.

    May Alex Rodriquez Hines rest in peace, forever remembered and deeply missed

  • Three Lives Lost in Tragic Cranston Shooting and Fiery Swansea Crash

    Three Lives Lost in Tragic Cranston Shooting and Fiery Swansea Crash

    In Loving Memory of the Lives Lost in Cranston and Swansea

    The communities of Cranston and Swansea are grieving following a heartbreaking chain of events that unfolded Thursday night into the early hours of Friday morning — a tragedy that claimed the lives of three individuals and left families forever changed.

    At the center of the sorrow is 35-year-old Javon Lawson, whose life was taken far too soon in a senseless act of violence. According to authorities, Javon was at his home on Legion Way in Cranston around 8:30 p.m. when someone banged on his side door. As he went to answer, he was shot multiple times from outside. Despite efforts to save him, Javon was pronounced dead a short time later.

    Javon’s death has left a deep void in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. He was more than a headline — he was a son, possibly a brother, a friend, a neighbor. His life mattered. The pain of losing him so suddenly and violently is something no family should ever have to endure. His memory now lives on in the stories shared, the laughter remembered, and the love that continues even in his absence.

    Authorities identified 28-year-old Demitri Sousa of Seekonk as the suspect. Following the shooting, police allege Sousa fled the scene in a white Infiniti sedan. Surveillance footage reportedly captured the vehicle leaving the area, prompting a multi-agency response that crossed state lines into Massachusetts. The pursuit was eventually called off by law enforcement, but the night’s tragedy was far from over.

    Shortly after midnight, around 12:15 a.m., Swansea police officers witnessed the same vehicle speeding along Route 6. Moments later, it crashed into a Subaru traveling southbound on Route 136. The impact was catastrophic. Both vehicles sustained severe damage, and the Subaru became engulfed in flames.

    Inside that Subaru were two innocent lives — a woman and a man — whose names have not yet been released. First responders worked urgently to extinguish the blaze and attempt rescue efforts, but both victims were pronounced dead at the scene. They, too, were someone’s everything — cherished by families, valued by friends, and part of a community that now mourns their loss.

    Three lives lost in one devastating night. Three families facing unimaginable grief.

    A .22-caliber pistol believed to have been used in the Cranston shooting was recovered from the suspect’s vehicle, and authorities stated that matching ammunition was found in his possession. Sousa was transported to Rhode Island Hospital with serious injuries and is expected to face charges, including murder, using a firearm while committing a crime of violence, and carrying a pistol without a license, once medically cleared.

    While legal proceedings will follow, no court outcome can restore what has been taken. Justice may address accountability, but it cannot mend broken hearts or fill empty chairs at dinner tables.

    In moments like these, communities are reminded of how fragile life truly is. Violence and reckless decisions ripple outward, affecting countless others beyond the immediate scene. Neighbors hug their loved ones tighter. Parents double-check doors. Friends call just to hear a familiar voice. Tragedy has a way of making us all pause.

    Today, we honor the memory of Javon Lawson — a life cut short by violence — and we remember the two unnamed victims of the Swansea crash, whose futures were stolen in an instant. Though their time here was brief, their impact was real. They deserve to be remembered not for how they died, but for how they lived.

    May their families find strength in one another.

    May their friends carry forward their legacy with love.

    And may these communities, though shaken, come together in compassion, unity, and resolve for a safer tomorrow.

    Rest in peace to all three souls lost in this heartbreaking tragedy. You will not be forgotten.

  • In Loving Memory of Rickey Morgan and Robert Senn Jr.

    In Loving Memory of Rickey Morgan and Robert Senn Jr.

    In Loving Memory of Rickey Morgan and Robert Senn Jr.

    The community of Vermilion Township is mourning the heartbreaking loss of two of its own, Rickey Morgan, 49, and Robert Senn Jr., 65, who tragically lost their lives in a crash early Friday morning in Erie County. Their sudden passing has left family members, friends, and neighbors grappling with sorrow, reflection, and an overwhelming sense of loss.

    According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the crash occurred around 2 a.m. on U.S. Highway 6 near mile marker 25. Authorities reported that Rickey Morgan was driving westbound with Robert Senn Jr. seated in the front passenger seat when the vehicle lost control on a left-hand curve. The car went off the right side of the roadway, returned after an overcorrection, and then veered off again. The vehicle ultimately struck two signs and a tree before coming to a stop.

    Both men were not wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash, and officials confirmed that alcohol was a factor. Rickey and Robert were pronounced dead at the scene. The roadway was temporarily closed as investigators worked diligently to piece together the circumstances of the accident. The investigation remains ongoing.

    While the details surrounding their passing are sobering, today we focus not solely on the tragedy, but on the lives they lived and the memories they leave behind.

    Rickey Morgan was a man known for his presence — the kind that filled a room with laughter, conversation, and familiarity. At 49, he had lived nearly five decades of experiences, relationships, and stories that shaped who he was. Those who knew Rickey remember his personality, his spirit, and the bonds he shared with friends and loved ones. His life, though cut short, carried meaning for those who walked alongside him.

    Robert Senn Jr., 65, carried the wisdom and perspective that come with years of life experience. He had seen seasons change, watched communities grow, and built relationships that spanned decades. To his family and friends, he was more than a name in a report — he was a father, a friend, a neighbor, and a man whose journey mattered. His legacy lives on in the stories told about him and the quiet, everyday moments that defined his character.

    The loss of two lives in a single moment is a weight no community carries lightly. In small-town communities like Vermilion Township, connections run deep. Neighbors know each other. Families intertwine. Shared spaces hold shared memories. When tragedy strikes, it ripples through every corner — from homes to workplaces to gathering places.

    Their passing also serves as a solemn reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of making safe choices on the road. The impact of impaired driving extends far beyond a single night. It touches families, friends, first responders, and entire communities. As we remember Rickey and Robert, may their story inspire reflection, responsibility, and care for one another.

    To the families of Rickey Morgan and Robert Senn Jr., words can never fully ease the pain of such an unexpected loss. Grief is a journey without a clear map, and healing takes time. May you find comfort in the love that surrounds you, in the memories that cannot be taken away, and in the support of a community that stands beside you during this difficult time.

    Though their lives ended too soon, Rickey and Robert will not be forgotten. Their names will be spoken. Their memories will be shared. Their presence will be missed in ways both big and small — in familiar laughter, in empty seats, and in the quiet spaces where their voices once echoed.

    May they rest in peace, and may their loved ones find strength in the days ahead.

    In Loving Memory of Courtney McCarthy

    The quiet roads of Greenfield Township carry a heavier silence today as family, friends, and neighbors mourn the heartbreaking loss of Courtney McCarthy, 39, whose life was tragically cut short in a crash on Friday afternoon.

    According to Timothy D. Rowland, the accident occurred at approximately 3:16 p.m. along Route 247 in Lackawanna County. Authorities reported that Courtney lost control of her vehicle while traveling on the roadway. The vehicle left the road and overturned. She was ejected during the crash and suffered critical injuries. Despite the immediate response of emergency medical personnel and their valiant life-saving efforts at the scene, Courtney was later pronounced deceased.

    News of her passing has sent waves of grief through the community she called home. In small townships like Greenfield, lives are closely connected. Faces are familiar, friendships run deep, and loss is felt collectively. Courtney was not just a name released in a report — she was a vibrant soul, a daughter, a friend, and a cherished member of her community.

    At 39 years old, Courtney was in the fullness of life. She carried dreams, responsibilities, and relationships that shaped her world and the worlds of those around her. Those who knew her describe a woman with a caring heart and a resilient spirit. Whether through her kindness, her determination, or the simple warmth of her presence, she left an imprint that will not fade.

    The stretch of Route 247 where the crash occurred now stands as a solemn reminder of life’s fragility. What was meant to be an ordinary Friday afternoon turned into a moment that changed everything. Tragedies like this remind us how quickly circumstances can shift, how precious time truly is, and how important it is to hold our loved ones close.

    Courtney’s passing leaves an emptiness that words struggle to fill. Family gatherings will feel different. Conversations will pause in remembrance. The sound of her laughter, the comfort of her voice, and the light she brought into everyday moments will be deeply missed. Yet within that sorrow lives gratitude — gratitude for the time shared, for the memories created, and for the love that will endure beyond this loss.

    As the community continues to grieve, may they also come together in strength. May her family find comfort in one another and in the outpouring of support surrounding them. And may Courtney McCarthy be remembered not for the tragic way her life ended, but for the meaningful way she lived it.

    Her life mattered. Her presence mattered. Her love mattered.

    Rest peacefully, Courtney. You are deeply missed and forever remembered.

    In Loving Memory of Malcolm Harris

    The city of Jackson is wrapped in grief as family, friends, and neighbors gather with broken hearts to honor and remember Malcolm Harris — a life taken far too soon, leaving behind sorrow that words can scarcely capture.

    On the evening of February 18, 2026, tragedy unfolded in the 3600 block of Skyline Drive. According to the Jackson Police Department, officers responded around 9:00 p.m. to a call at a vacant property, where they discovered Malcolm’s body. Authorities believe he died from a gunshot wound. The news sent shockwaves through the community, leaving loved ones stunned and searching for understanding in the face of unimaginable loss.

    In the days that followed, developments in the investigation brought further headlines. On February 26, 2026, Naquan Balentine was charged with murder and auto theft in connection with Malcolm’s death. He was denied bond and is currently being held at the Hinds County Detention Center. Reports from WJTV 12 News, citing its sister station WREG-TV, indicated that Balentine had previously been arrested earlier in the week for an armed robbery at a Dollar General store in Panola County.

    Yet beyond the investigation, beyond the charges, and beyond the court proceedings, is the heart of this story — the life of Malcolm Harris.

    Malcolm was more than a headline. He was deeply loved by his mother, cherished by his aunt Tyronza Davis-Jackson, and surrounded by family members whose lives were intertwined with his. He was a son whose presence brought comfort. A nephew whose smile could light up a room. A relative whose laughter echoed through family gatherings and whose absence now leaves an aching silence.

    He was a young man with dreams — aspirations that stretched into the future with promise and hope. Plans that were still unfolding. Goals that were still being pursued. His life held meaning far beyond the tragic circumstances that ended it. Those who knew him speak of his spirit, his personality, and the unique energy he carried. He was someone who mattered — to his family, to his friends, to his community.

    The pain of losing a loved one to violence carries a weight that is difficult to describe. It is a grief layered with shock, anger, and heartbreak. It forces families to endure not only sorrow but also the public nature of investigations and courtrooms. Through it all, Malcolm’s family stands united in love for him, determined that his memory will not be defined solely by tragedy.

    In living rooms across Jackson, stories of Malcolm are being shared — childhood memories, inside jokes, milestones celebrated, and quiet moments that now feel priceless. These memories are treasures, reminders that his life was filled with connection and love. Though his time on this earth was cut short, the impact he made continues to ripple outward.

    As the legal process moves forward, the focus for those who loved Malcolm remains on honoring who he was. Justice is sought, but healing is also needed. The community stands in solidarity with his family, offering prayers, compassion, and unwavering support.

    Malcolm Harris’s life mattered. His name matters. His story matters.

    May he be remembered not for the violence that took him, but for the love he gave, the joy he shared, and the light he brought into the lives of those around him. Though his physical presence is gone, his memory lives on — in the hearts that carry him, in the tears that fall in his remembrance, and in the enduring love that death cannot erase.

    Rest peacefully, Malcolm. You are forever loved, forever missed, and never forgotten.

    In Loving Memory of David Fisher

    The communities of Pontotoc County and Hughes County are mourning the tragic loss of David Fisher, 43, of Allen, Oklahoma, whose life was cut short in a single-vehicle crash in the early morning hours of Thursday.

    According to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, the accident occurred just past midnight along OK-48. Authorities report that David’s vehicle struck a cow that was in the roadway. No other vehicles or individuals were involved in the crash. Despite the circumstances, the outcome was devastating, and David was pronounced deceased as a result of the collision.

    In moments like these, the details of how a tragedy occurred often feel secondary to the overwhelming reality of loss. David Fisher was more than the victim of an accident — he was a son, a family member, a friend, and a valued member of the Allen community. At 43 years old, he was in the prime of his life, with years of memories behind him and countless possibilities still ahead.

    Those who knew David describe him as dependable and hardworking, someone who showed up when it mattered. Whether through his dedication to his work, his loyalty to friends, or the quiet strength he offered his loved ones, David left a mark on the people around him. In small Oklahoma towns like Allen, bonds run deep. Neighbors become extended family, and news like this ripples through the community with profound sorrow.

    The stretch of OK-48 where the crash occurred now carries a weight of grief for those who understand how quickly life can change. A routine drive home became a heartbreaking reminder of life’s fragility. Rural highways, often traveled in the stillness of night, can present unexpected dangers — and in an instant, everything can be altered forever.

    As family and friends grapple with this unimaginable loss, they hold tight to the memories that define David’s life — his laughter, his voice, his presence at gatherings, and the everyday moments that now feel so precious. Grief may cloud these days, but love endures beyond tragedy.

    The Oklahoma Highway Patrol continues to document the circumstances surrounding the crash, but for those who loved David, the focus remains on honoring the man he was and the life he lived. His story does not end on a highway; it continues in the hearts of those who carry his memory forward.

    May his family find comfort in one another during this painful time. May friends and neighbors surround them with strength and compassion. And may David Fisher be remembered not for the way he left this world, but for the life he lived within it.

    Rest peacefully, David. You are deeply missed, and you will never be forgotten.
