My mom called me this morning to tell me my high school boyfriend died yesterday.

It's so incredibly unbelievable. The man was only 24. Just barely out of college and just getting started. He was driving home from work last night, hit a patch of black ice and crashed. He died on the scene.

I hadn't seen him since we were 19, but we did the obligatory "Happy Birthday, hope all is well" Facebook messages. He was my first boyfriend and a HUGE part of my life in late high school.

He was one of those guys who could make friends with anyone, always was able to make people laugh. He was just a good, fun-loving guy.

It's a damn shame...

Real sorry to hear that. Everybody knows that terrible things can and do happen all the time, but that doesn't make it any less painful when it hits close to home.

Hope his family's doing okay, or rather as well as can be expected...

Either you are some place close or we had a very simular instance that was front page news in our local newspaper.

How does the song go? Ah, yes.

Only the good die young.

One of my classmates from high school died a few months back. Damn shame since he was way too young to go too.

Now Facebook keeps adding him to my "People you may know" list. Argh.
