Nixa Family Hit By Tragic Death

Both the News-Leader and Nixa Express reported yesterday that 17 year old Nixa senior Austin Edwards was found dead Monday morning at his father’s home.  A full story is available at both links.  Austin started at defensive tackle for the Eagles football team last year.  Whether an athlete or not, there’s nothing more tragic than the death of a young person with so much life ahead of them, and so much potential inside them.  Our hearts and minds are with the Edwards family and the Nixa community today.
