TJ was a fine young man. I watched him grow up in the community as well as on football fields and basketball courts. Katie and his family did a fine job of teaching him to be kind and respectful of others. He was a joy to watch on the football field, always giving it his best! TJ will be missed! #14 #onceapantheralwaysapanther!
