He loved his family, his friends, and the outdoors. He was a hunter and an avid fisherman, but most importantly, he was my best friend. He was a wonderful son, and our family will miss him always."

WKRG also spoke with on of Houston's teachers at McGill-Toolen. Coach Trey Petite, an algebra teacher, said: "Oh man, when I heard the news, it was very heartbreaking.
