When Tony had learned that Wyatt Savaikie (14) was killed while crossing a street by a person who allegedly ran a red light (http://www.hometownstation.com/santa-clarita-news/traffic/coroners-id-teen-killed-in-bouquet-canyon-seco-canyon-crash-156950), Tony decided to go to the intersection with the "Are You Ready?" cross. Minutes after arriving, Tony watched a man walk toward him from the opposite side of the street. The man was carrying deck, wheels, and a few candles.

The man (Nick), an employer for the City of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, stopped on his way to work to add his own piece to the makeshift memorial that marked the spot where young Wyatt died.

Nick's offering was rather beautiful. The deck served as the foundation. Three skateboard wheels served as candle holders. And a candle was placed in each wheel.

When Nick returned from paying his respects and expressing his own grief over the tragic and seemingly senseless loss of a young life, he and Tony had a brief conversation.

The circumstances did not allow for a lengthy conversation, so Tony gave Nick a paper missionary--a gospel tract.
