One of the victims, Keenan Honeycutt, was remembered as “A Light.” His parents said the 9-year-old loved playing football and brought unmatched energy both on and off the field. His father, Jack Honeycutt, said he plans to continue holding vigils every year.

“Every birthday, I’m gonna do stuff for them. Every Christmas, every holiday, every, every day when the date is. When he passed away, this day right here, this candlelight is going to go on,” he said. “Until I die, every day on this day. I’ll make sure to call and keep them both at the same candlelight every day, every time of the year. On this date.”
