NASSAU COUNTY, Fla. – Neighbors, classmates, friends and teachers from Fernandina Beach High School gathered Wednesday evening to pay tribute to Kylar Parker, a student who died in a crash.
For nearly an hour, more than 100 cars drove through the Woodbridge neighborhood with people passing by Parker’s home to show their support for his family.
The vigil was organized by the Mighty Marching Pirates Band family to remember “Mello Man.”“He plays the mellophone and he’s a pretty mellow dude,” said Susan DeVan, president of the Fernandina Beach Band Parents Association.
“He was always laughing,” said Kamryn Williams, one of Parker’s friends.
With every passing minute, the memorial outside the house grew bigger and bigger.
