I'm very sad to report that there have been three people in the area that have died in the last couple of weeks.

Dylan Brown, an Exeter Township student, died July 14 after a two-year-battle with cancer. Brown was an inspiration to his teachers, his fellow students and community members. He would come to school even if he wasn't feeling well and was an honorary member of several local sports teams.

Accordingto police reports, A Fleetwood student, Ian Kanegawa, died just a few days ago in a tractor trailer accident along Route 422.

Also, Kenneth Lang, a Birdsboro resident and principal at High Point Baptist Academy, died in Outer Banks, N.C. last Thursday. His obituary states that he accidentally drowned. A friend said that Lang had a positive influence on students and students have been leaving messages on Facebook, a social Web site, about him.
