High Schooler Passes Away In A Car Accident Right After He Attended A Homecoming School Dance
Weston, Ohio. 15-year-old Ashton Michael Copeland attended Otsego High School who recently celebrated the school’s homecoming this past weekend.
“…Us parents love to watch our kids get ready for the big dance and all the photos and the beautiful elegant dinners and then, of course, the dance all this was amazing,” Rochelle Brueshaber wrote on a GoFundMe page.
“Of course after the dance, there’s always an after party such as bonfires and friends riding with friends,” Rochelle continued.
“A parent’s worst nightmare is getting the call that their son has been in an accident please come quick.”
After attending the homecoming dance, Ashton was riding in a car with two other high school students that he knew when they got into a car accident.

Ashton’s family called it “a tragic, yet preventable, car accident” and it only involved the one car that the boys had been traveling in.
Ashton sadly lost his life in the crash, while the two other boys in the car, Jaydin Pinkney and Keith Boone, were rushed to a nearby hospital.
Jaydin and Keith have suffered some serious injuries, but they are expected to fully recover from them.

The Wood County Sheriff’s Office is still looking into what caused the crash in the first place.
“Ashton was a funny, loving, and witty boy who lived a healthy life filled with friends,” his obituary reads.
“From the minute he was born, until the very last minute of his earthly life, he brought love, and joy into the lives of those who knew him best.”
“We cherished him, and appreciated his charisma, his sense of humor, and his spark. Ashton enjoyed playing games online with his friends, scary movies, and recommending what shows to watch on Netflix.”
“He was a punctual kid, believe it or not, who would set daily reminders to phone his dad, every night, at 8:30 p.m.”
Ashton’s loved ones say that he had “Adonis-like curls” and would spend every morning before school making sure his hair looked good for the day.
He also made a point to make sure he took off the caps on his water bottles so his dog, Bowser, could enjoy playing with them.
“Ultimately, we will all miss our Ashton. You were a cool, cool kid with lots of friends and people who sincerely love you. Rest in peace, little buddy. We will see you soon.”
