Just an incredibly sad, sad story. Was sad for days to hear of him being hit, but just heard that he's died. Awful, awful, awful. And watching the video from the other night, with an interview from the young man's mom and dad ... dusty. Very dusty in here.

PORTLAND -- A teenager hit on I-5 after he walked away from a Blazer game died from his injuries, Thursday his family said.

The family of 16-year-old Nathan Vredevelt said a memorial service will be held for him Tuesday, March 10 at 7 pm at East Hill Church, 701 N. Main, Gresham, open to the community.

Vredevelt, who had Down syndrome, was watching the Blazers battle the Spurs Sunday from inside a luxury suite when he vanished and wandered onto I-5. He was hit by two cars.
