One of those moments in time where you'll never forget where you were at. I remmeber the whole city being extremely sad. I was in middle school when another teacher came in and announced it.

I was riding home from a high school soccer game in Dallas with my parents. I heard it on the radio and I cried. I didn't quite understand his real situation....I thought he'd easily recover and be back on the field the next season.

I didn't believe it...DT was invincible in my mind. Sucked...

Junior year in high school. Teacher came in and announced his death (in Spanish class). I remember going to the Antioch Mall that day with my mother and feeling miserable. I was devastated for some time after.

I'll always associate my 1st ever car wreck as a teenager with DT's wreck because they both happened on the same day. Mine def not as serious just a minor fender bender from sliding on ice and into another car at slow speeds.
Wear your seatbelt folks.

I was at work and had just finished a major project. I was wrecked for the rest of the afternoon and accomplished nothing. At first, I thought the guy who told me was joking.

I remember when it happened but I was pretty young and it didn't affect me the way it seems to have affected people older than me, who may remember the early part of his career more.

I cried way more than I care to admit and grieved for a long time afterwards.
