He was a great friend to my son, was at our house often. He had a huge giving heart.
RIP kid, you'll be missed

elguapo : He was dealing with some medical issues. Family is asking for privacy.

GoldenGirl : Aww so sorry to hear this. Praying for the family . It's reported on the NyPost.

sweetie :
Poor guy…..but I guess he had health issues, it's so sad…

Why was he living in Kingwood?

Not releasing a cause of death = thousands of online comments blaming the vax.RIP

Did he graduate from Kingwood? Same age as my oldest…So sad, cannot imagine. Prayers for the family.

To an Athlete Dying Young
BY A. E. HOUSMAN
The time you won your town the race
We chaired you through the market-place;
Man and boy stood cheering by,
And home we brought you shoulder-high.Today, the road all runners come,
Shoulder-high we bring you home,
And set you at your threshold down,
Townsman of a stiller town.Smart lad, to slip betimes away
From fields where glory does not stay,
And early though the laurel grows
It withers quicker than the rose.Eyes the shady night has shut
Cannot see the record cut,
And silence sounds no worse than cheers
After earth has stopped the ears.Now you will not swell the rout
Of lads that wore their honours out,
Runners whom renown outran
And the name died before the man.So set, before its echoes fade,
The fleet foot on the sill of shade,
And hold to the low lintel up
The still-defended challenge-cup.And round that early-laurelled head
Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead,
And find unwithered on its curls
The garland briefer than a girl's.RIP

myevilgrin : Wikipedia states he graduated from Kingwood Park.

luannski : He grew up in kingwood he had dual citizenship.

I can't believe this. So young and athletic. God rest his soul. 🙏
yankeejessica: Please let your boy know this. His brother was a part of our CAP squadron. He'll know Cadet Barber. ☹️

QueenB : Oh man I remember him!!! He was such a very sweet boy. He's in one of the pics I have of the cap crew at the park 💔 I'll let him know
