Sophomore Zaevion Dobson was a 15-year old who lived in Knoxville, Tennessee, He was a football player, a leader and a great kid say those who knew him. And earlier this week, during a random gang shooting into a crowd of kids, Zaevion's actions were described thusly:
"Knoxville Police Chief David Rausch broke down at a press conference discussing the young man’s heroism: 'Zaevion Dobson, a 15-year-old Fulton High School student and football player, was struck and killed after he had jumped on top of three girls to shield them…to shield them from the shooters.'
A teary-eyed and choked-up Rausch paused for several seconds before he could finish the sentence."
And so should we all be saddened by the loss of this fine young man to thugs. I hope the young women he saved will never forget his face or his life given so that they might live. I am certain that the One who sent His Son took notice and will never forget.
