@stevestaeger: Much of the coverage around the deadly August 30 crash on I-25 focused on the hit-and-run driver accused of traveling 144 mph. But the victim, 19-year-old Evan Suppes, should be talked about too. His grieving mom, Michelle, reached out after seeing comments wrongly assuming the two drivers were racing. His family’s Life360 data shows Evan was doing 67 mph in the slow lane —doing everything right on his way home from visiting friends. Here is how his family wants him remembered. #colorado #denver #news #crash
Thank you for sharing his story. I’m going to take a little of that spirit with me today. Do a little act of kindness in honor of Evan.

I think it’s crazy for people to get judgmental about a 19-year-old dying. Especially to be judgmental towards the parent. 19 is an adult. My 19-year-olds if they lived at home did not have a curfew because they were adults and I treated them accordingly. Most of my children moved out before they were 19 and were living on their own and paying their own bills. Because their Adults. Let’s stop blaming the parents for situations like this.

My 19-yr old son was taken from us too early. The circumstances were different, but the pain is the same. Mama, you are now part of a club none of us ever wanted to be in. Thank you for doing Evan proud and preserving his memory. Let’s all go be an Evan, today and everyday. Hugs to the family.

Hello - my heart is completely broken for this momma and papa. Evan sounds like he really made his mark on the world! He had a huge hearty which tells me he was on a mission for god to vessel kindness and love. I know his life was ended way too young but I am so glad you have such incredible memories to share. I am so sorry for their loss and I pray Evan is living happily in heaven waiting for his beautiful family to meet him one day.

I can’t imagine how painful it must be to not just lose your baby but then watch people mischaracterize him. We need more Evan’s. I’m so sorry for your tremendous loss.

RIP to this young man. I worry about my daughter who drives through I-25 constantly going from Ft Collins to Denver and Littleton. People need to stop driving so stupid.
