Father Stands in Behalf of Late Son Who Passed Away Weeks Before the Senior Prom
FATHER – A 50-year-old man who just lost his son attended a senior prom to be the date of his late son’s girlfriend.
If there is one thing uncertain, it is the length of how one person will live. Death can come anytime — even at the most unexpected situation, even when you are happy, even when everything is okay. It can leave countless hearts broken and deeply submerged in grief.
After a death of a loved one, a lot of people choose to stay away from parties and celebrations. Many people in grief will feel that there’s nothing to celebrate for. Plans made before someone’s loss may not push through.
But, in the case of Kaylee Suders, while she no longer wanted to attend their senior prom after the death of her boyfriend, Carter Brown, one thing changed her mind — Carter’s father, 50-year-old Robert Brown, insisted to be her date in behalf of his late son in the prom.
Based on an article on Pep, this story that touched countless hearts keeps on resurfacing. Kaylee and Carter were exclusively dating for a year already when the incident that took his life happened. They were both 19 year old then.
Carter Brown was on his way home from Indiana State University where he was a freshman student when he met a car accident. The man who was described by his girlfriend as very friendly died in the crash.
Kaylee tags herself lucky to be Carter’s girlfriend. He is one of the four sons of Robert Brown who is a football coach at James Buchanan High School in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania where his late son’s girlfriend was a student.
Before the death of Carter, one of his brothers died and it was very painful for Robert to lose two (2) of his sons within 7 years. The death of the 19-year-old left his girlfriend not wanting to attend the senior prom anymore. He was supposed to be her date.
But, a special request from the father of Carter changed the mind of Kaylee. Based on the article, the friends of Kaylee also did her hair and make-up for their senior prom. She felt like a princess and she believes that Carter is happy that she will attend the event.
Kaylee and Robert got an applause at the prom. She was approached by the father of Carter when she walked down the stairs. Based on the article, although Carter was not able to attend the event, she’s happy that she had a prom date and she enjoyed the event.
Before going to the prom, Kaylee and her late boyfriend’s father passed by a local fastfood chain and ate. There are no recent updates about them years after the death of Carter but everyone is hoping that she and the family are doing fine.
