Tyree Parks was a 18 year-old high school senior who had just received an acceptance letter to Bloomsburg University in Pennsylvania. His mother wanted so badly for September to come so that her son could escape the dangerous streets of South Philadelphia. Sadly, Friday night Tyree was shot and killed as he was walking home from a basketball game that he had just finished coaching. Apparently Parks had gotten into an altercation earlier in the day, and was so fearful that he was carrying a semiautomatic handgun at the time of his death. The Philadelphia Daily News provides additional details on this very sad story.Wednesday, January 27, 2010

Sad.
Black folks are so filled with hate.
It's a southern thing. That hate. It comes down through the generations.
its crazy wen u know someone for a life time n there suddenly taking away from you at the blink of an eye. i was just wit u right before i went 2 work n i get a call that your gone really broke ma heart... all the fights we been through as kids n all the good times we shared as young adults will always be remembered.. love you wee.. love ky
everyday i sit here and think about the loss of my brother inlaw! everytime im at your house i feel like im gonna see your face or hear your voice... but yet your not there. it saddens me deeply that i got to know you and spent time with you and the fam, and suddenly your gone...i miss you, and im staying strong for your brother. you will forever be missed :'(
I miss the days we spent together. we was together everyday since i could remember. i miss all the battles we had weather it was sports, cards, fighting, and ect. I look up everytime i hear ur name or think abt you. U was the brother I never had. That phone call I got from my mom broke my heart that night. I just couldn believe it....
I love you bro
R.I.P Tyree S. Parks
