Chillicothe Gazette | Jona Ison
CHILLICOTHE --Sitting in the home her son just had bought before his motorcycle crash in 1998, Kelley Deavers teeters between a longing that never will fade and excitement.
The longing is for her son, Jeremy Doyle, who died from that September crash when the impact broke his brain stem. He was struck at the intersection of East Fifth and South Hickory streets when another driver ran a red light.
At 21, he was getting the rest of his life set up -- he recently had bought a mobile home, just received the title for his motorcycle, was employed as an electrician and on his way that afternoon to propose to his girlfriend of seven years.
"He was my star. If I ever had a knight in shining armor, that was him," Kelley told the Chillicothe Gazette just days after the crash.
