Prayers goes out to the Whipps and Irby(Owens)
family. This young man should be charge if drugs and alcohol played a part. This this type of
careless should not be tolerated. He jeopardize a lots of people lives. I don't think he will be on the highway again if he is charge.

I am in a deep state of mourn because Mario was a sweet young man who always had a smile to lighten up any body's day. Even though I have only known him for a short period of time, He was still a wonderful person. I didn't just see him as the foot locker boy who helped me try on my shoes, I saw him as my friend. I went to his job all most every week just to see if he was still smiling, but now that I have returned to Miami, Florida I've mourned even harder than I expected to. But I know that every body loved him because I did too. I send my condolences to his family. The last thing I can say to him is rest Mario Whipps, your job is finished.
