What a strange feeling

I just learned that a guy who graduated 4 years behind me from Canton died in a car accident early this morning.

I never really knew him that well or had any interactions with him.  He had a sister that was a year older than me in school and I guess I knew her better than I knew him.  There wasn't much familiarity with anyone outside of names and what they were involved in during school.  

But when I heard about it, I was immediately struck with sadness.  I watched this guy play sports with my brother throughout his career and through that got to know his dad and mom pretty well.  

The family is in a tough situation.  Their son just died, and their grandfather--legendary South Dakota High School football coach Burdell Coplan--is not doing well either.  This family is in immediate need of prayer.
