Avon was a star football player for RHS. May he Rest In Peace.
I thought the name sounded familiar.
I knew Avon since he was 6 years old. Avon was a great person and one of the nicest people I knew. He grew up in Ridgewood and was liked by everyone. A great personality, and he always had a big smile on his face. Such a tragedy. May he Rest In Peace.
