Social media used to grieve for victims

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) - Family, friends, and even strangers are using social media websites to talk about the lives of the four crash victims from Angola.

Angola High School Seniors Alexx Bauer, Evan Weaver, Riley Zimmer, and Matt Roe were all killed over the weekend in a car crash on their way home from spring break in Alabama.

On Monday, websites like Twitter and Facebook were filled with people who wanted to talk about the victims and send their condolences to the family.

Bauer was the quarterback for the Angola High School football team and a guard on the basketball team. The website Scouting Indiana posted a tweet on Twitter that read, "Condolences to the family of Angola H.S. SR G Alexx Bauer who was 1 of 4 Angola students killed in a crash on the way home from spring break."

Riley Zimmer was also on the football team. A blogger setup a web page honoring him and his family. At the bottom of the page it reads, "RIP and RIH Riley Zimmer."

Evan Weaver was an aspiring hip hop artist. He had already recorded some of his own music, and people were sending links of his work around the Internet.

Matt Roe was also being remembered by family, friends, and strangers. His Facebook page said he worked at Domino's Pizza and played on Angola's soccer team.

A Facebook page has also been setup to promote a memorial ceremony at Angola High School on Friday night at 5:30 pm.
