gone but never forgotten

Although he isn't the 1st adolescent life to be taken by violence. Davon has in the lack of better words become a statistic of black men to have died young as a course of violence. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Though it maybe a saddening fact but other young may follow this course.
Even though I didn't know Davon that well, we were in the same college program and I spent a whole summer with him. When I first heard of his passing it seemed so surreal to me and I honestly couldn't believe it at first. This situation being that it happened early this morning is still taking effect on his many friends and family members.
It maybe true that death of someone who wasn't that close to you maybe hit people it different ways because everyone is a diverse individual but it deeply hurt me to hear of his passing. Although I can never experience the pain and hurt his family and close friends are experiencing I am just appalled that it happened to him. Like my friend Dupree told me "its becomin to normal for us to die young." The realist as I call her is completely right although I wish she wasn't.
I just feel like this basically. You always imagine/dream about your future and think that all the people you are around and have made conversation with will be there 3 years down the line. Then when you hear about someone you met or even spent some of your time with has died. It NEVER crosses your mind that the dream/imaginatory thought you had would never turn out that way. And to be completely honest it hurts. but after all this I just feel speechless.
