There have been two tragic situations that have occurred to families close to mine and my children in the last week. They have affected two of the same communities as well as well as one the Aggie community.

Marc Elizondo, a freshman at A&M, was killed in a car accident last night. He was a middle school (Holy Spirit) and high school (Antonian) classmate of my daughter's. They were good friends. Shocking.

This come on the heals of another tragedy for the Holy Spirit and Antonian community. An 8th grader at Holy Spirit who was complaining of headaches on Friday, was found he had a brain tumor. Surgery was performed Saturday but he passed away on Tuesday. His older brother is junior at Antonian and a very good friend of my son's. We are close to this family as you might expect as well.

I just pass this along for the Aggie community sake but also ask for prays and comfort for all of those that are touched by this. One was bad enough but to have a second within the same two communities can be devastating. Hug your kids extra hard today. It really puts things in perspective.

God bless.

Stay strong and keep the faith buddy...

Always.

Thank you.

Well, I have some updated more accurate information. Seems word of Marc passing was premature. My daughter just came back from the hospital where he was taken after the accident. He is actually on life support at this time. She thinks they are waiting for some family to come into town before removing the life support.

Sorry for the bad information that I passed on in the OP. It doesn't look good though.

awful, please update when you can, T&P

Prayers sent for both families.

My boss told me about the car wreck yesterday. Their families are also in the same circle of friends.

My daughter told me last night that they are keeping him on life support for the sake of donating his organs. He has no brain activity. There has to be some comfort in knowing others will live on because of your child.

We are praying for both those boys and their families.

Sorry to hear you lost people close to you. Prayers for you and their families

Just to follow up on this. There is a service tonight at Holy Spirit and the funeral is tomorrow at Holy Spirit. But here is a piece that was on the news. 100% worth the watch for many reasons.

Thanks for the prayers!

Marc Elizondo

Just read that what a great young man

It really sucks that we always lose the good ones

Prayers to the family of an amazing Aggie
