Such a sad day...

I found out this morning that my neighbor Curtis, who I had known since I was a toddler, was killed in a car accident this past Friday.
He was in the car with another person when they went off the side of the road and crashed into the concrete barrier. The police concluded that neither of them were wearing seat belts and Curtis was ejected from the car into the wall. The other man in the car is alive but Curtis died at the hospital from massive injuries. He was only 23 years old.

I have so many fond memories of Curtis. He was an extremely nice guy and very athletically talented. We always cracked jokes with him saying we would be attending an NBA game one day and have nothing to say but "I knew him back when." I just can't believe he's gone. Realizing that I'll never see him shooting hoops in front of my house again just breaks my heart.

I just want to cry.
