Scotty Wayne, R.I.P.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and family of Southern Guilford's Scotty Wayne, who died in a car crash yesterday morning, and to those of the other three men involved in the accident. Wayne was 17 years old, the same as my younger brother, so I couldn't help but get a little contemplative as I sat in on Wayne's memorial service at the school today. Here was a kid who had a million-watt future laid out in front of him, gone in the blink of an eye. As one of the pastors on hand said Sunday, none of us is promised tomorrow.
Asad Khan, one of Wayne's friends at Southern, said in a message today that Wayne was the kind of kid "who you just loved to be around. In latin 3 class there was only 6 of in that class, but it was everyones favorite class, because of his sense of humor and energy he had. He was telling about the school that were willing to offer him full ride scholarship for football, and mentioned Duke University. I told him he should go there, he's like thats never gonna happen their's too so many nerds, i wanna have fun."
Here's a video of Wayne that Khan posted on YouTube:

I didnt know Scotty that well, but we would wave to eachother at track meets and a lot of my friends knew him really well...Its hard to believe that he is gone. We used to call him Sc-Sc-scotty everytime we saw him and he would just laugh at us :) But now he is with the Lord to be in eternal peace. We love you Sc-Sc-Scotty! I pray for everyone affected by this......

I didn't know scotty personally- but, in art class my teacher asked if i would write or draw some sort of card for the family. I ended up writing a poem. I know how it feels to lose someone you love. Im sorry for the loss everyone, im sure he was a great person.
