One of Knott Central's former baseball player's and my oldest son's friend passed away yesterday.

Chase Hall was 18 and a student at EKU. He played for Knott Central in 2001-03. Two of my sons were his teammates those two years.

Chase was found unresponsive by his room mate. He has had a history of heart problems. Chase was a very good young man and very smart. He was well liked by everyone associated with KC's baseball team. He always had a smile to give.

I know that we will miss Chase. Please pray for his family and friends.

tas,

My deepest sympathies to Chase's family, your son, and your family. That is a terribly sad story. They say the saddest thing in life is when a child precedes his parents in death. This much I think we can all agree on.

Oh my goodness....this is horrible! My thoughts and prayers are with his family and team mates.

Tas - our sympathies - losing a young one hurts twice as much.

Tas - Such a very sad thing. His family and all of you at KC will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I can honestly say that the Knott Central folks are some of the nicest parents and players I've ever met. It's also a very tight community and I'm sure that this loss will be felt by many.

Tasmit - what devastating news! Prayers going out from here for Chase's family and friends.

Prayers from our family as well. I can only imagine.

Tasmit --

I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you, your son and the boy's family. Heartbreaking.
