This is my best friend of nine years and I’m just absolutely devastated I’m 13 to and I haven’t go through anything wrorse than losing him I miss him so much and I really hope he’s just in a better place.💔
Griffin loves you like a brother. He’s around somewhere, somehow and I know he’s looking after you sweetheart. Thank you for getting mad at him that time he did something not good. You are a hero for doing that. Keep doing that and keep being that good example that other people will notice. Hold your chin up when you don’t know what else to do. That has helped me get through tough moments. He would want us all to live a long happy life. He and I have talked about that in case something happened to one of us. Thanks… Read more »

Hi McKenna,
This is Griffin’s mom. How did you know Griffin? Can you please send me an email. You were one of the last people to see him right? He told me about you and that you were really good friends. I’m just so curious about what his mood was that Friday night. I just don’t get it. Maybe you can help me.
Thank you.

The loss of a child is one of the most tragic and heart wrenching experiences there is. There are no words of comfort, the weight is unimaginably unyielding and yet we must carry on. There is nothing that can heal the pain though we contend with it daily. Live each day with the positive memories that made you laugh and brought you joy. There will be solace in those times…Peace
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful words. I’m Griffin’s mom. It’s been almost six months and it’s not any easier. If anything, worse. I miss him like crazy.
Griffin is my son. Thank you for all of the thoughtful sweet comments you all have written.
It is the worst heartbreaking experience. He was so sweet, kind, and funny. He cared about others to an incredibly high level.
He’s given us an example for all of us to strive for. We need more kindness in this world. It’s contagious. I’m requesting you all to try to do an act of kindness as often as you can and feel Griffin in your heart knowing how happy that would make him.
