This is not a post that I thought I would ever be making. Please keep the Mia family and his friends in your prayers. They lost a son, a brother, and friend. They are going to need them now more than ever. We met Xander Mia and his family back when the boys were in little league wrestling and on the MYBA Baseball fields. My boys grew up with him, they loved him. He was the sweetest, kindest, funniest person. I don’t think he had an enemy. He was a friend to everyone. Everyone loved him. He is leaving a huge hole in this world and it is definitely dimmer without him in it. Xander you are going to be missed
