Fox 8 WJW, Cleveland | Elisa Amigo

BRUNSWICK, Ohio — Days after a deadly car accident claimed the lives of four Brunswick teens, students continue to pay their respects.

As the family of Kevin Fox prepares for his upcoming burial, his father is speaking out about the legacy his son leaves behind.

“Our son was a hero. It’s a tragedy. Kevin is a great kid. He’ll live on through all the people he’s helped,” said Kevin’s father, Jim Fox.

Just hours before he was expecting to graduate from Brunswick High School, the family of 18-year-old Kevin Fox received devastating news.

“I was so set on him making it, I guess it was overconfident, I guess you could say,” said Kevin’s older brother Sean. “It’s hard to accept that he’s gone. Every day I wake up and remind myself that it happened.”

Sean said he and his brother shared a very special bond, and the admiration he felt toward Kevin grew stronger each and every day.Read more: http://fox8.com/2012/06/07/kevin-foxs-father-our-son-was-a-hero/
