First and foremost Don Williams was loved. Loved by his family, loved by his rider family, loved by his friends, and loved by God. What was there "not" to love about Don Williams ?. It is a sad day when a man that gave so much was put in a fatal situation by someone throwing a tantrum while intoxicated. A situation that ultimately caused the young man no major loss, but left a very large group of people affected and without a loved one, suffering with the loss.
This young man, if bail was allowed to be posted, was home sleeping in his own bed very shortly thereafter with a commitment to the courts to return and face charges. My friend was laying in the morgue. The young man probably got up the following day and had breakfast, and tried to sort through the chain of events of the days past. My friend laid motionless. The young man probably made a myriad of excuses in place of explanations, rationalizations and justifications, throwing blame in all directions. My friend doesn't have that luxury, nor would he indulge in behaviors such as these.
Some of the causes of change in human beings lives are simply the consequences of their actions. If one can take responsibility for one's actions, then one has the power to learn from his mistakes and make positive changes. Unfortunately Don's days of learning life's lessons, and making changes are over.
What will be the consequences of Mr. Levi's actions ?. What will our Justice system say to Mr. Levi out of responsibility to the law of this great land ?. He's the one that has to live with himself knowing full-well that he, and he alone, stole the joy from so many lives and caused the death of another human being. I do pray that whatever punishment they deem appropriate for his crimes, it never ever allows him to forget that night or what transpired.
To the District Attorney: I will pray that your case is in order, that your efforts prove fruitful, and that justice will be served. I am not seeking revenge or restitution for Don William's death, but that Mr. Levi be held "accountable" for his actions. It wasn't the alcohol consumed, nor the lack of ability to control his anger that took Don William's life, it was Mr. Levi's actions. Let us see that he never finds reason, or has the opportunity to make those choices ever again.
"Don, I will miss your smile, your joy, your spirit, your humor, your depth, and most importantly your love that you shared with so many". God Bless You my friend.
