A young Marine who touched the lives of many is being mourned by a Central Texas community.
He stood out in a crowd.
"He was a linebacker, tough. Always trying to hit everyone as hard as he could. Go as hard as he could. It was great," victim's friend Rusty Jones said.
Now family and friends mourn the death of 19-year-old Jaron Meadows. The 2004 Leander High graduate died in a car crash Sunday in Arizona.
He was a Marine on leave from a base in California.
"It's kind of like a bad dream. Something you wish you could wake up from. It was all unreal," Jones said.
It was a life cut short for someone who was trying to build a new life as a member of the military, a husband and someone looking for a new place to call home.
"He just married. He was about to move into his new house. He was the one making it out of all of us. He made it the farthest," victim's friend Derek Insco said.
His new wife, Stephanie, survived the crash and recovers in an Arizona hospital. Back home, those who knew him remember how he once brought them together.
"That was just one of those days when we all just get together and spend the whole day playing football, having fun," Jones said.
"We'll probably end up playing sports and bringing up old memories this weekend. He would of loved for us to do that. He'd love to see that," Insco said.
