Life lessons. We learn them every single day. Some are tough to understand. Others, go without saying. Last weekend the Akron football team learned a lesson that many of us take for granted, life isn’t fair. They found out in the most tragic of ways. Johnny Fiebelkorn, a hard-working, thoughtful, kind young man passed away early Saturday morning.

Fiebelkorn should be starting his Senior year next week. On Wednesday he will be laid to rest at the Ross Funeral Home. On Thursday, he should be huddling up with his teammates in preparation of this weekend’s football game at Roy-Hart. Instead, family, friends, coaches and teammates will say their goodbye’s.
