I was born in Rockingham but now I live in Asheboro. Words cannot say how proud I am for the ultimate sacrifice Mr. Jerry Avant gave of himself in this tragedy that has left so many people in disbelief

He surely was not thinking of himself when he tried to stop this terrible act. He will become a standard of what bravery stands for. I hope and pray the family he has left behind can find peace in knowing how much of a hero Mr.Avant is. Rest in peace and God bless.
