My sympathy goes out to Jason Ray's grief-stricken family & friends.

I heard his father make a comment, aired on CBS (& please note that this is only my paraphrase), regarding Jason's wish to be an organ donor; he said "Perhaps someone who would have died today may have been able to live instead...using an organ that Jason now cannot."

This is indisputably a tragedy. My thoughts are with this loved ones.

The unfortunate fact of this story is that he was walking on the wrong side of the street. You are supposed to walk against traffic, not with it, for this very reason. It is very hard for motorists to see someone walking at night. If you are on a bike or any other vehicle you are supposed to go with traffic, but when walking you should walk against it.

Joe, nearly fifteen fatalities for pedestrians occur daily from the nearly 189 daily car vs people lash-ups. Good, or otherwise, pedestrians must remain alert. From your post, might I surmise you want the drivers fingernails removed over the next six months?

I tell you the truth I dont think justice was really done here , Ok i understand that the person driving the SUV was not on drugs or any other chemical , But what the heck happened Did the driver fall asleep or did he pass out what i would seriously like answers . How do we know if the driver of the SUV had something against Jason Ray and this was the only way the SUV driver can commit a crime and be free of it . With all do respect yes the driver stopped and called 911 right away but there should be more actions taken against the driver like suspend or take license away for a year and put the driver in a class for 6 months . Does the driver wear glasses or shades ? What the entire story seems fishy to me Sorry but i just dont buy it . The system needs to give greater punishment for such a crime that was done . many people would think this is a way out by running someone over that you might hate or dislike and getting away with it . I pray for Jason Ray Family . God Rest Jason Ray Soul

I read the entire story. If nobody did anything wrong then can someone please tell me what happened. How do you just get ran down from behind by a car? Was Jason in the roadway?

So very sad. During such an exciting week for this young man, a tragedy like this is so hard for his family, friends and classmates. Never take life for granted. May Jason rest in peace.

To say "I'm sorry" to the family is so grossly inadequate. As a Chapel Hillian, we mourn with you in this most painful of times. Jason was just amazing. My young daughter, Caroline, adored him; he was so patient with children. Jason's faith ensured his welcome in Heaven. I am praying for God's comfort for Jason's family.
