Kate Wexell wrote a sympathy message

“I was in youth group with Dante, and while I wasn't particularly close to him, I know that he really impacted the lives of some of my friends and he was an incredibly fun kid to be around. I don't think that any of us have ever thought a single bad thing about Dante, and I know that many of us have been taking it really hard. I can't imagine what you're going through, and I know that myself and many of my friends are keeping all of you in our prayers.”
