On May 15, 2007 my little brother Griffen, was killed in what appeared to be a DUI related accident.
In the months to follow we would learn that what happened to Griffen was much more than just a DUI
related death. To this day, it is incomprehensible to me and our family what transpired on the evening
of Griffen's passing.
My name is Kimberly Parrish. I am Griffen's oldest sister. Since Griffen's death, I have been trying to come to terms with not only losing my little brother but also trying to figure out a way to make Griffen more than just some DUI statistic in the state of SC.
I realized that in order to facilitate change, not only are new laws necessary, but education as well. I want to spread the word and share with the world what a gift Griffen was.
You danced, you laughed, you loved to sing.
You grew into such a handsome young man.
Your heart was bigger than even you could understand.
You shared with and you loved all those that you knew.
We still see those sparkling eyes so brilliantly blue.
You were like sunshine on a cloudy day.
Your infectious smile brightened all of our days.
We miss your laugh.
We miss your smile.
We miss everything about you, Griffen, and it has only been a little while.
Someday we know we will meet again.
Until then, we love you, our little brother, our friend.
You will live in our hearts forever.
