This Sunday marks the one-year anniversary of the tragic loss of Kade Nelson, Mason Gann and Emmett Darnell in a car wreck. On Thursday, Pima High School staff members and students held a moment of silence for Mason. They also remembered him by gathering around his truck to enjoy his favorite snacks of Dr. Pepper and Goldfish crackers. On Friday, Thatcher High School students will pick up litter around the school and host a barbecue to celebrate Kade. Folks from all over Graham and Greenlee counties will be participating in a commemorative drive on March 6, as well. The details of it are still being pulled together.

After Mason Gann, Emmett Darnell and Kade Nelson died last February, several of their fellow Gila Institute for Technology students spent weeks restoring their pickup trucks. Mason's was brought to Pima High School Thursday for a special event marking the upcoming anniversary of his death.
Tucker Wilkins and Britt Hawkins, 16-year-old sophomores at Pima High School, participate in a moment of silence for Mason Gann. Hawkins thought the event held Thursday was "pretty cool." "I'm just thinking of all of the times we had with him."
