<p>Sad news from the academy home page today.</p>
<p>oh my goodness. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.</p>
<p>How terrible for that family. Our thoughts and prayers are with them as well.</p>
<p>Our hearts ache for his family and friends. What an incredibly tragic loss on the eve of his 1st Class year with so much to anticipate and celebrate.</p>
<p>Our Plebe was a hometown teammate and friend with a USAFA cadet who lost her life in an automobile accident last Christmas leave. This latest, gut-wrenching news will hit him hard.</p>
<p>For anyone on this site who knows and/or communicates with the family, please let them know that they will be in our thoughts as they cope with this loss.</p>
<p>Mr. Reeves was an amazing Midshipman, and would have made on of the finest officers this country could ask for. As my Plebe Summer detailer he was an inspiration, a constant motivating force, an example of excellent leadership, and a wealth of knowledge. It was hard hearing the news of his death in the middle of Plebe Summer, but we knew he would want us to push through. I went to his viewing this evening, and it was hard to keep the tears from coming.</p>
