Same here. We have a 20 year old college student in our family.
Hmmmmm... God works in interesting ways.
Wow. First I heard of this.
from article:
"It was his way of supporting the team," the father told The Star-Ledger of Newark. "There are things you just can't explain. He wasn't doing anything he wasn't supposed to be doing. He was 200 yards from the hotel."
No charges have been filed against the driver of the sport utility vehicle. Police said the driver stopped immediately to try to help Ray and called 911. Police also said the driver had a valid driver's license and did not appear to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Condolences to Jason Ray's family and friends and the students, faculty and alumni at The University of North Carolina.
I feel sorry for anyone who loses a child, no matter what the age. This young man was just coming into his own, and happily provided a lot of joy to others by being the school mascot. God bless them all.
Tragic.
Prayers up.

"Gagik Hovsepyan, 51, the driver who hit Ray..."
The driver's small son was asleep in the vehicle with him.
Tragic...couldn't help but cry for loved ones, and for all concerned. Prayers up.
The headline makes it sound like the mascot was in full dress outfit when he was hit...
That's the image I get when I read that headline..
So sorry to hear of this man's death..
Very sad.
As a New Jerseyan, I would like to extend my heartfelt sympathies to the family and to the members of UNC during this sad time.
...and as he was best known, as Rameses:
