Joshua Gray was a student from Texas who lived with his mother, Laurie Gray. The two lived a happy and normal life even though it had just been the two of them since Josh’s dad left them when he was 6 months old.
Even though Laurie was devastated when her husband left her and their baby, she kept fighting every day for their future and to create a nice life for her son. Josh didn’t grow up missing a father figure as his mom always made sure he felt supported and loved in every way possible.
Laurie was a proud mom who had watched her son grow up to be a caring and respectful individual who got along with everyone at school. She was sure that Josh would continue to flourish and go on to live a successful and content life.
In his last year of high school, Josh had so many interests that he excelled in — athletics, music, and engineering — that he found it difficult to narrow down where he was going to apply to college.
As he tried to decide where to apply to school and what major was for him, Laurie found her son becoming more quiet and even complaining of a stomachache. She thought it must just be nerves with everything he had coming up in life, but sadly, it turned into something much more tragic.
