Friends, family remember boy killed at monster truck show

Baby sitters, classmates and teachers were among those who spoke at a memorial for a 6-year-old boy who was killed at a monster truck show at the Tacoma Dome.

About 250 people gathered Saturday at Frontier Junior High in Graham to celebrate Sebastian Hizey's life, support his family and share in the community's grief. The boy was killed Jan. 16 at the Tacoma Dome when he was hit in the head by flying debris.

Mary Morley, the victim's kindergarten teacher, choked up with emotion, saying, "Actually, he was my teacher. To know him was to know an angel."

Fellow Graham Elementary School kindergartner Seth Brown stood before the assembled crowd and remembered his friend. Brown, also 6, said, "I asked him to play with me and he said yes."

Pastor Mark Edwards of Cavalry Community Church in Sumner told the assembly that Sebastian was surely in heaven, playing with the monster trucks he loved so much. He said, "I bet there's a monster truck up there with his name on it."
