Life story
Boston was an avid lover of sports and during his young life had played football, basketball, baseball, and ran track. Some of his greatest accomplishments were dunking a basketball and breaking multiple junior high track records. He also enjoyed gaming, graphic design (including "Game Day" graphics and videos), and hanging out with his many friends. Boston's good attitude and likable personality made it hard to not love him. Those who knew Boston, even just a little, lost a shining light in their lives.
