Tragic loss to FIRST

[CrevoDesign]

Mays was a great mentor and I wish I would have joined the team freshman year so I could have known him for longer. He has impacted my decision on what field I am going into. I wish that he didn't have to go so soon and I had the opportunity to just hang out with him as friends not just students and mentors. The team will get through the pain and we will continue going In Memory of Mays T. Overton. here is a quote one of our alumni found from mays.

"Life only happens once. You can wallow in the bad times, or you can move on and find the adventure around the next corner. Smile, and it will get you further than you may think."

He will never be forgotten.

My condolences to the family, friends, and team mates of Mays.

I am one of the coordinators of the BAE Systems FIRST program and I can testify that our program would not be where it is without the enthusiasm and the support of people like Mays. He was a force that will truly be missed.

My advice to those that would like to honor his memory – find that piece within yourself that makes you passionate about life and share it with anyone that will listen. That’s exactly what he did.

Please pass along our sincere condolences, to his family, friends and team from Team 111.
