It has been a month now since my Son and Grandson, and two step children, Mother, sisters, brother,family and  friends lives changed forever. It still hurts, It still is shocking. Doing what I can to help my son pick up the pieces and try to find a normal life is so heartbreaking. I CANT FIX THIS! These families are forever changed, forever hurt, forever! I still pray that Fletcher feels our pain, if not, I ask Jesus to bring him to his knees......

It is sad no one is telling the truth that chad fell asleep due to fatigue he is very hurt about the people he killed and will live the rest of hislife.chad did not drink at all and for people to sit here and say he was drunk is bullshit. We cannot bring them back but everyone believes what the stupid ass cops and people say without knowing the truth so all of you can go to hell who believe the media bunch of liars if you want to know more here's my number 4p95029492 I will be glad to tell you how it is.

Staying on the road and driving when you are tired/sleepy/fatigued enough to fall asleep is just as bad as driving drunk.

I don't want to be insensitive, but as someone who suffers from a sleep disorder, driving while sleepy is extremely dangerous. As much if not more than driving drunk. I have fallen asleep more than once driving and it led me to see a sleep doctor. I know a man with a sleep disorder who killed someone because he chose to drive. I have had to pull off the road to sleep more than once. Sleep can creep up on you. You can try to fight it but typically you lose. If he wasn't drinking then he needs to start talking about the dangers of driving sleepy.
