A brave man

Much has been said about Jeffery Owens being gay. What is missing in all the reports that I have read and seen, is that Jeff was a hero coming to the aid of a person being attacked by this group of cowards. He gave his life in order to save someone else from injury or death. He did a heroic deed and this should have been mentioned.

I will remember Jeff as a hero and a friend rather than a gay man. I hope you will too.
