The 24-year-old Highland Park native was trying to cross the westbound lanes of Interstate 595 in Florida when he was struck and killed by a dump truck early Saturday, April 9, ESPN reports.
He spent the days before he died doing what he loved with those he loved: Training with his teammates and relaxing in the sun.
