Ronnie Helton who died in this crash was one of the finest young men I know. I have known Him from the time He was 12 years old. We have truly lost a great young man. I had the honor of coaching Ronnie in youth football. I will miss His smile, His sincere approach to everything. My deepest condolances are offered to His Parents

Ronnie's memory will always have a place in my heart.
