Video: Metea Students Gather for Devin Meadows Memorial

Hundreds of classmates dressed in white came together at Faith Lutheran Church in Aurora to show support for Metea Valley High School sophomore Devin Meadows Wednesday.

Line after line of students dressed in white filed in to Faith Lutheran Church in Aurora Wednesday to pay their respects to fellow classmate and, more importantly, their friend, Devin Meadows.

Even if they never got the chance to meet Meadows, a Metea Valley High School sophomore who died in a car crash Tuesday, they still came together to show their support. 

"I can relate because one of my best friends passed away six years ago and it was a really hard experience. The silence in school yesterday was just really loud. It was just so eerie," said Metea Valley senior Lexi Ross. "He made a big impact on everybody."

Since the accident, students have been sharing memories about Meadows on Twitter using the hashtag #RememberDevin. 

After the vigil on Wednesday, students were still sending out condolences late into the night through the social network.

"Metea students are some of the strongest people I know. it's crazy how one person can bring so many people together. #DM30#RememberDevin," one student tweeted.

I'm pretty sure that prison is more detrimental to your health than smoking pot. That's the pointRead More here. Does Ernie have a financial stake in keeping pot illegal? The liquor industry, drug testing industry, and several police organizations (due to zero tolerance seizure laws) are lobbying as hard as they can to maintain the status quo. Many people will be affected in a shift to legalization. Maybe he has a profit motive?

Olddeegee, No financial stake on MY part. I don't know about others here, including you. For thoseRead More killed in DUI crashes, prison is not more harmful than smoking pot. For the guy killed while eating someone's face, prison would not have been more harmful. For the guy bulldozing the town, prison would not be more harmful.
