He graduated from Columbus North High School. His family wants to bring his body home for Columbus to be his final resting place. “It’s very unfortunate because he’s not very well known over there,” said Carlos.
He was just visiting. So, for him to be laid and his final resting place somewhere miles upon miles away from here is just awful and devastating.
